I have two questions regarding my 1975 Johnson 2R75D motor:
1) How do I get the prop off so I can change the seal. I removed the cotter pin which was quite an endeavor, btw. Now the prop won't budge. What do I do next? After seeing the white buildup on the cotter pin which was frozen in its hole, I am assuming this motor might have seen saltwater in its life.
2) I pulled the bottom unit so I could replace the water pump impeller and seal. I am finding it impossible to get the splined drive shaft fitted back into the drive gear in the upper housing. Again, any ideas that may help me?
This is a pretty small motor to give me such big problems! I have looked at two manuals and they say "remove propeller" and "reinstall drive shaft". They just forget to say how.
Thanks for any suggestions in advance.
