Suzuki DT-40 (1985) - Removing propeller shaft?? HELP!

Hi there.

I purchased 2 old DT-40 motors, one for parts and the other as working (had to do some maintenance to make it that way).
And now when it's finally working, I found out that the propeller shaft is bent, so I need to remove/change it.

I have not managed to do so, same with the Prop. shaft housing, do I need any special tools to accomplish this??
And also should I remove the wayer pump house first or anything like that??

ANY help would be very much appreciated, im currently stuck and dont know what to do
 
Not familiar with the exact model, but generally there is a bearing housing that has two bolts holding it into the foot of the outboard. Those bolts will be near where the prop shaft comes out of the outboard. Once they are out you will generally need some sort of puller to extract the housing towards the tip of the prop shaft. Once that is out the shaft will slide out along with the reverse gear.
