Re: powerhead removal problems.

Salt water and/or brackish water use? Sometimes its alkaline build up at tha studs and/or driveshaft stuck in tha crank. It takes some coaxing in different ways but is a little dangerous to Tell someone how to do it on tha computer. One little misunderstanding can have a terrible effect. Just remember that is where machined surfaces/gaskets meet................sorry, best I can do. GL with it...........
