help please removing lower unit on johnson 60 hp
We are trying to remove the lower unit on a 1985 johnson 60 hp out board motor to replace the water pump. we have all the bolts/screws loose, we could get it loose about 3/4 of a inch, but there seems to be something else holding it, some type of rod i think that comes from the upper unit, I was hoping we wouldnt have to take the upper unit off also. any ideas or suggestions are welcome. we did try looking behind the carb shifting to forward and reverse but really did not see anything we could take loose unless we took the whole carb off and other things... thank you!
