Johnson 50 '84, Mod. nr. J50BELCRM<br /><br />Im having slight difficulties removing the block.<br /><br />I have unscrewed all the bolts that I think is relevant, that is 8 bolts on each side, and there were also 3 smaller bolts/nuts on the back of the engine that I removed. However, one of the 8 bolts snapped right at the start, so it is still fastened all the way up. From the looks at the other bolts, its threads is only at the very end. So as the head snapped, I will still be able to pull the block off, without the risk of breaking something serious? Or should I handle this, how?<br /><br />It still seems to stick to the point that I don't want to use too much force in fear of breaking something inreparable. Again, can the one bolt cause this?<br /><br />Do I have to remove the engine from the mounting on the boat before removing the block? To me it looks as the section between the block and the lower exhaust section that is somehow connected with the engine mounting.<br /><br />Another albeit unrelated question, I wonder if pulling the flywheel is as easy as mounting it. Will I mess with the timing, or will the key pin handle it, and no worries? I am aware it's a silly question, but rather that than making things hard for me.<br /><br />Thanks
