I have a 1967 sportwin 9.5. The drive shaft got seized in the gearcase and the motor does not run. i got the lower end gear case, shaft, propeller,gears, water pump out.. but some how i can get the drive shaft to budge out of the gear case. there is this oil ring around the shaft with a plate holding it down in the gear case but i cant seem to get to slide off the shaft completely. it will only move about 1/2 inch ( already took off the pin in the shaft ) .. do i hit it out? and why is my shaft stuck in the gear case and not rotating? this is my first outboard motor so dont know anything. any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated. and one more thing i think my motor is ok.. because once i drop the lower end.. the motor was able to turn freely so i started it for like a quick 10sec.. then turned it off asap.
