Trying to replace impeller

Shift cable is disconnected I hope.----And careful with that cable as it takes many beer tokens to replace it if you can find one.

No it is not disconnected. Is there a step by step manual or something ? The lower is stuck I have all the bolts out does not budge.

How many bolts on your work bench ?----Picture of them ?----Used in salt water ?

 

[sr230mike]

6 That hold the lower, 4 that hold the whale tail looking thing and 3 that hold zinks. I don't know about salt water but there is some white dust.

Can I use heat?
