I still need help. I removed the lower unit but the drive shaft stayed up in the motor. Does anyone have any ideas on how to break it free? I am soaking it in WD but so far can not pull it out.

"On that small a engine, I'd suggest removing the powerhead, clamping a non bearing surface area of the drive shaft in a vice, then using a block of wood and a mallet (or hammer), tap the bottom surface of the powerhead away from the shaft.

NOTE.... It would be a good idea to have a helper hold and support the powerhead."
