New guy here. I am trying to replace the engine in my Campion (5L with Yamaha gear) and I can't for the life of me get the leg off in order to lift the engine. I have been told by marine mechanics to have the gear selector in neutral, remove the trim actuators and the speedo tube as well as the 6 nuts holding the unit together. I have done all this but I still cannot seperate the leg even with some gentle coaxing. They told me one trick might be to raise the leg and drop it against a block of wood resting on the transom but that doesn't work either. Do any of you have a solution for me? I know the Yamaha stern drive is a dinosaur but ths one is really in nice condition and has never given me any trouble so if I could possible re-use it I would. Any and all advice is appreciated.
