I was planning on getting a rebuilt outdrive to replace my existing drive due to a number of things. Turns out the shop is having a hard time removing the intermediate housing. He said he would have to destroy the transom shield to do so due to corrosion. He tried using heat etc but he can’t even get one of the bolts out. He now says we could probably just replace the upper and lower and get things working again. I was having shifting problems, water in the lower unit, u-joint noise and the pds bearings needed replacing. Not really sure how to move forward from here. Is replacing the upper and lower a reasonable way to proceed?
