I'm in the process of removing the lower unit on my 1981 140 hp Johnson Seahorse, to replace the impellar. It seems that the darn thing is hopelessly stuck. I have removed the 4 bolts (2 on each side), the trim tab, the hidden bolt underneath the tab, and of course the shift rod retention screw (under the carbs). All as per my Clymer Manual. All the lower unit has done is drop down a 1/4" in the back and remains 100% Snug in the front. I can rock the lower unit from side to side and it only moves a little less than a half inch. Even though I know that it is a no-no I have tried to pry the unit off...but no success. It just bends screw drivers after it starts to move...then pop snug again! Please Help!
