"My gears are mangled and i tried removing lower unit, I removed the six bolts and it wants to come off but something is holding it up. what am i missing here?"
 
"Are you removing lower only o

"Are you removing lower only or upper and lower together? If lower only, it should drop down enough to clear the shift rod then you will have to turn it 90deg to port side to get it off."
 
"After disconnecting trim rams

"After disconnecting trim rams and removing the six locknuts, it should pull right off. May have to wiggle her around a bit. Helps to have the drive as much in the vertical position as possible so that you are pulling the drive shaft straight out of the engine coupler instead of at an angle."
 
Place a 2 x 4 under the drive

Place a 2 x 4 under the drive between the transom and the drive hook back up the rams hit the button and the drive will pop right off.

Be prepared it will come off and fast.
