1988 OMC 4.3l on a Dynasty 190 Fish and ski. Leaking water into bilge so pulling off the outdrive to replace bellows etc. Seemed pretty straight forward, remove pivot pin, support cylinders, remove 6 nuts and pull off.
Problem is, with the 6 nuts removed, there is a large gap between the outdrive and transom assembly, seems loose , but it will not separate. I have pulled on it pretty good, but nothing. Do not want to pry anything as I do not want to break anything since the case is just aluminum.
Any suggestions appreciated

never mind - I just needed to quit being a pansy with it. Bounced it a few times and it came out.
