I have a Japanese made 1988 4HP (merc) that I believe has a busted impeller. I am trying to remove the lower unit and I cannot pull the shafts out of the motor. It has reverse and when I pull up on the un bolted lower unit it seperates about 2-3inches then the shifting lever will move to reverse and then it wont budge after that.

Please let me know if I must disconnect something else first, I am new to outboard dissassembly so please be detailed.

THANKS!
 
Did you disconnect the shifter?

I suggest you look at parts diagrams on Crowley's site to see what's still connected.
