Hi, I am in the middle of pulling my pwrhead to install solid mounts. I removed all the bolts and nuts I can see, won't budge. Fresh water motor, bolts came out with fingers, once loose. Lower is still on, but was just put on last week, so it shouldn't be stuck. I have pulled quite a few crossflows, but this is my first looper..... I can see when it was last installed they used some type of gasket sealer. I am pulling up enough that i started lifting the boat.(a Hydrostream) I tried to carefully drive a sharp 1" chisel between the block and exh adapter. I don't want to do any damage. are there any bolts, nuts that I can't see? Where is a good spot to try and pry? I tried all four corners. I tried rocking it strongly. What's your trick? Am I wrong in thinking I can pull it with lower still on? ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
 
Thanks faztbullet, Yeah, I got the front 2 nuts and bolts, the 9/16 along the sides and the nut in the back. I'm reluctantly gonna pull the lower, just so it may allow me to rock it free? It's just not budging, I don't know what was used to glue it down but it's overkill! I just don't know where I can pry on it. This is a super clean fresh water motor. I worked in S.FL for a couple years and had to use torches and Dynamite, lol, to get em apart.... It's gotta be the glue holding it together, I don't wanna damage it trying to chisel it apart... but my options seem limited. ANYONE ELSE FEEL FREE TO CHIME IN, IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED... THANKS AGAIN. Ted, aka oldschoolnc

If I was doing the job I'd go back and check ALL the nuts and bolts. JMO. Next thing to do is remove the lower unit. If you can't get that off you know where your problem is.
