1961 50 hp white merc

I'm a NEWBEE , I have a big problem hope I can get help. Please??
I have this 50 hp 1961 runs great, but it needs a water pump impeller, when I dropped
the lower unit it is so different from normal, the water pump impeller is located underr
this plate that is about 2 1/2 inches in diameter with 4 holes for a special tool to loosen
The cap, the problem is some one previous owner messed the holes up real bad where
I cannot put a tool into the holes, any suggestions on how to unscrew this lid??
Thanks Dave
 
Chop the nut to pieces and take it out..........-----New plate with seal is avalable on this site.-----On a budget then possibly put 2 more holes in the plate for easy removal.
 
Drill the plate with a bunch of holes, just deep enough to get it's attention, then shatter it piece by piece with a chisel.
