Hello to all members.
I'm working on my lower unit and am stuck and I hope someone can share some knowledge with me.
First of all, I have a 1987 Kruger Baymaster with a Johnson 90 V4. I have the seloc but not a factory manual. The engine model number tag on my engine has long dissapeared, so I am not completely sure what the model number of my engine is.
On my last fishing trip, I heard/felt a "thunk" as I was idling along...no drop in RPM's. After doing some research, I figured it was the clutch dog, but of course, I need to tear the LU apart to see. I dropped the LU, had a three day fight with the bearing carrier, which I won after rethreading to a 3/8, applying heat, and a bottle of PB Blaster,, and have already gone through the other steps up past removing the pinion and pulling the drive shaft. I put the shift rod into reverse and have unthreaded the shift rod. It's my understanding that after some jiggling, the prop shaft and shifter assembly should pop out, but I can not get the shifter assembly to come lose.
Seloc suggests taking a slide hammer to it, with probable damage to some parts. Has anyone had to deal with this issue and was there an alternate solution?
Thanks
