I have a 1998 V4 90HP Johnson. Need to replace seal on lower unit on prop shaft. Can someone help with instructions. What I have done so far is taken out two bolts in rear of gear case that appear to hold the bearing guide in place. Sprayed liquid wrench around bearing holder. Then using two 5/16" bolts and puller tried to remove seems to be tight and won't budge. Are there more bolts? Don't know what I am missing. Thanks in advanced for your help.

Looks like you have removed all the bolts, sometimes you have to use some heat to break them loose.

Daviet thanks for the advice I will try heating. There are two threaded holes on front I read that these holes were to thread bolts into in tandem with the wheel puller. When I start to turn the nut on puller it just tightens up then when nothing moves it wants to twist on me.
