How do I disconnect the shift rod from motor to replace impeller? All I have worked on before were straight at top (under carbs) but this one has offset which makes me wonder if it will drop down through it's opening with gear housing unit? Or, does it disconnect for maintenance work somewhere else?

nope, it just pulls right on out, just like the others.

believe it or not, goes back in pretty easily, too.
