Does anyone have any proven tricks to free a stuck driveshaft? Previous owner said it wasn't pumping water so I pulled the LU and it was a B*H! The driveshaft ended up staying in the powerhead and I've tried clamping it with a vice grips (around a rag) and levering it out, I hit it with a torch, nothing seems to want to let it free. The mid and lower units had a lot of salt in them and there was no sacrificing zinc so I hope it didn't weld itself up there.
I'll pull the head if I need to..I'm hoping for an easier solution if anyone can help.
btw...it's a 1977, and yes, I have a new pin for the impeller.
