Well I got the gear cover off without much drama once I got the specialty tool delivered, but I find myself in a similar position as I was once I got the water pump cover off - now what?
I was expecting the now-exposed part shown in the pictures below to be more readily removable, but I can't see anywhere to get any purchase. So now how do I get any farther into the lower unit?
I'm referring to part 55 here: https://www.crowleymarine.com/mercury-outboard/parts/1109_16.cfm - the bearing carrier assembly. How the heck do I take that out?
To recap - I have all the covers off - shift shaft, water pump, and gear cover, but in each case it seems there's another layer that I have no idea how to get through. Hope someone can help out!
