I tried the screwdriver and some wood wedges. I don't want to damage the casing. Something seems stuck or hung up. I just don't know what it looks like in there to know what could possibly be holding this in.
I am trying to replace my water pump impeller. So I took out the 4 bolts plus the one in front of the trim. Unhooked the shift linkage at the top. Broke the lower unit loose but it will not come out. Just came loose about an 1/8" and something is holding it from coming out. Anyone have any...
