So I’m in a huge mess....
Bought a new impeller for 1987 Johnson 25 HP model J25RCUR.
I took the plastic screens off the sides, loosed the shift linkage, and removed the four bolts and one nut to remove lower unit. The one thing I forgot was to remove the bushing off the end of the shift rod. I’ve pulled the lower unit down about 6” and now the lower unit won’t come down any farther OR go back up. It is STUCK bigger than Dallas. I want to slide it back up to be able to remove bushing, but I’m afraid I’ve really bit the big one here.
