My LU failed so I got a "working condition" used 1978 Johnson 115 lower unit.
The driveshaft doesn't turn by hand no matter what position I put the shift rod in. I put a large monkey wrench on it - and no movement.
What next?
What position of the shift rod should allow it to turn?
Looks like most people will say to remove the water pump impeller - will that really prevent the shaft returning with the leverage of a monkey wrench?
Assuming that doesn't work- then what?
