I am trying to remove the lower gear unit on my T25, in order to check the impeller.
Have removed the four nuts, as well as the bolt under the trim tab.
Unable to get the unit to drop down. Feels like there is another bolt attaching the lower to the upper, but can't locate it. Any ideas?
 
Think you need to place tranny in forward position before dropping lower unit. Also, be careful not to break the speedo hose, it'll be a PITA to replace.
 
Thanks for the reply Big Skeet.
Turns out there are two small dowells that align the upper and lower units, and they were crusted up with salt and glued together.
Sure seemed like there was another bolt somewhere, but they eventually separated with some prying.
I did have units in gear when separated, so everything went back together fine.
