The long 5/8" hex head is backed out about 3/4" but I can't get it out. The four bolts are out. Pin removed and gear selector is toward power head. Haven't had the two apart for over 5 years. I've had it apart many times with no issue. I would expect that I could at least drop it until the unit bottoms on the stuck bolt. If so, I would expect to see the bolt, inspect and penetrate oil. How do I get two apart without a lot of banging as it is a casting?
Thanks,
John
