Hi, I recently bought a 1975 johnson 40 hp long shaft. The lower unit was toast so i got another. The problem is that when i took the toasted unit off, the driveshaft stayed attached. The lower unit i have now is a short shaft and i don't want to disassemble it if i don't have to. if i get the long driveshaft out, the new unit will bolt right on and then i can get some boating in before the season is over. Can anyone tell me if there is a trick to getting the shaft out?<br />Thanks. Scott
