Im currently attempting to rebuild a lower unit on the above described. I've disconnected the lower unit from the motor. I've taken the prop and nut from the lower unit but can't pull the assembly out from the back. Am I missing something? Does the shifter rod and drive line need to be removed? Please give some insight, thanks. Also, would I be best rebuilding myself, buying used or purchasing a new aftermarket lower unit assembly?
