I just removed all six bolts securing the lower unit to the mid section and it is generally loose, but will not come down, like the shaft is engaged somewhere.

What am I missing and would I expect the same problem during reassembly? I am also trying to remove the prop housing - any tricks to that?

Thank you.

Shift it into reverse, the lower unit will drop by an inch. Completely remove the bolt from the shift rod, now the shift rod can come out, that is holding everything together.
