I'm about to tear into my powerhead. The manual calls for a crankshaft protector, flywheel puller and lifting eye. It lists mercury part numbers. Are there real world alternatives to these parts/tools.<br /><br />I'm about to try and separate the powerhead/lower unit in my garage. I don't have a cherry picker or overhead hoist. I could use some tips on doing this. How many guys will it take to lift the powerhead. or will I be able to separate them without having a some sort of hoist pulling up on the powerhead while I loosen the bolts.
