    I just broke my drive shaft.

    The drive shaft just snapped off right below the impeller on my 1986 evinrude 90 hp, model # e90tlcdc. I have a driveshaft to put in it but i'm not sure how. Does the gearcase have to be stripped down or can the drive shaft be pulled out? Thanks for the advise.
