Re: strip down help needed

Can you hand the motor, driveshaft up, a few inches off the ground? If so, spray some PB Blaster around the driveshaft and let is work over several days. I little heat and cooling cycles will tend to suck the oil into the joint.

You might try turning the driveshaft opposite to the motor's operation just in case the splines are somewhat stripped.
