I am getting water in my sterndrive oil. I pressurized the unit and found it is leaking where the inner shaft going into the outer shaft. I am trying to disassemble the lower gear unit but i cant get the bearing housing and outer shaft out. I removed the two screws on the top and bottom. I put the shaft puller in place and have tightened it to the point where no matter what i do i can get it (the bolt in the tool) any tighter. This thing hasnt moved a bit. I am following the procedure in the service manual and i am getting nowhere. I did not separate the upper and lower gear housing as i dont plan to do anything other than replace the O-rings.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Im afraid i am missing something and I dont want to damage the lower gear unit.
