Re: How to disassemble the gearcase on a 35hp 1980 evinrude?
From experience you really want the manual, I have rebuilt a lower 3 times both with mix and match gears and a new gear set and none of them lasted very long.
The tolerances are so tight ti is reall yhard to get them right without the correct tools.
There was a big snap ring on mine that was holding all the stuff in but oyu need some really long snap pliers to get it out.
Might I ask why you want to take it apart??
