A little help please...

[mrg]

I am new so please be patient. I have a 1972 Sea King that has a 55hp Chrysler motor. I have a cracked lower casing by the propeller and i am trying to remove it so that I can repair or replace. I need help getting it off, I pulled the prop and bearing then the nut on the stud or rod. (not sure which) Something is stopping me from removing, I would appreciate any sugestions.
Thank You

The shift rod might need to be un-hooked.There might be a cover on the side of the middle housing.Remove it and undo the screw there.
Post some pics and show what you have.J

The long stud in the front tends to corrode into the aluminum case. Some of them are miserable to remove. Heat and driving with a brass drift may help but be carefull you do not "mushroom" the threads or you will never get it out.
