Re: Trying to remove lower end, what am I missing?
It might be a case of it being just tight from wear, etc. Do you have a manual for your motor or have you tried searching for an online version? Sorry, I know nothing about your model, just thought I'd reply and keep it up towards the top of the forum until someone comes along that does know them.
I have, however, had to "persuade" a lower unit to come off with a rubber mallet. The can be a little stubborn after a bit.
