I just removed lower unit and everything separated except impeller. I know there is a keeper pin on the shaft and won't pull up. When I try the shaft wants to come out of the gearcase. Is that okay? Does it need to be removed and knock it off?

Thanks for your help......

The shaft may pull out of the lower unit , not a problem as you can re-install it with no effort required.----Just crack the vent screw a bit.
