I have a 1992 25hp johnson that i am trying to change the water pump on.
I have it down to the shift rod and have unscrewed the top fitting from the bottom fitting.
I am trying to slide the top fitting up to expose the keeper. This fitting does not move.
This is a newly acquired motor and has been run in salt water.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Try some PB Blaster on it and let it sit for awhile, then try working it.
