hello, I am trying to remove lower unit on a 1989 25hp evinrude, disconnected the shift shaft rod, and removed the four bolts
and the one nut on stud in front, it seems to be hanging up on that stud in front, i can get a small gap all along where the
four bolts were but cant get any movement up front tried some wooden wedges beat it with soft mallet do you think its seized on that stud or up in the shaft? Been spraying pb blaster on stud. This boat has been sitting for atleast five years.
Thanks I’ve been searching on line and a lot talk about the splines stuck in crankshaft but really seems like its that stud.
