I worked on an old 72 Johnson 9.5 about a month ago that had been sitting for a while. It had a seized shift rod in the lower unit. I ended up disassembling the lower unit, pulled the rod, tapped the bushing so I could pull it and then picked the oring out.
I just acquired 1967 9.5 that has the very same thing- stuck shift rod.
Question 1: Is there a trick to free these up and maintain the integrity of the oring seal?
Question2 Is there a way to replace the oring while leaving the bush in place?
Thanks
