I have been working on a merc 1958 58a (45 hp) and the lower unit is leaking. I have had it off many times messing with the impellor and such, but I think I want to replace all of the lower unit seals. The problem is I have the prop off and big screw looking thing that is behind the prop, but how do I get further. I still have the shaft for the prop sticking out but I cannot seem to get past the big 3-4" wide screw/plate thing that I took off with my spanner wrench.
