" Joe, Sparky
I am doing a rebuild on the powerhead of a 1990 200hp Evinrude. I am at the point where I am tiring to separate the lower unit from the mid section, you guessed it, seems to be stuck. All the bolts have been removed and the shift rod disconnected from the cam. I have about an 1/8"
gap from above the prop to a little past half way between the two sections, towards the back no gap. I had the lower unit out about five years ago to replace the water pump, the unit came apart without any problems. I have every thing apart and ready to pull the powerhead. I have heard horror stories where a hole was drilled into the mid section and the shaft had to be cut, there has to be a better way. Any information you guys can provide on how to brake this unit free would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
