hey fellas - so im going to pull the powerhead on my 1990 40hp J40telesr and rebuild. I do have OMC manual and am more than capable of completing the project. so my first problem is the 8 bolts going from the bottom of the powerhead holding it on to the exhaust housing/mount are rusted over and rounded into what i would stretch to call "nubs" impossible to get ahold of with a wrench. Im thinking I'll have to carefully grid them off and then just replace the studs and nuts. Im just looking for some validation with the thought process before i proceed. any suggestions or previous lessons learned would be appreciated as im sure theres going to be quite a bit of cursing involved here. Thanks ahead of time!
