I know I have to remove the 9 bolts, but, how do I disconnect the clutch or shaft? Is it up top or when you drop the lower unit? The picture shows an e clip up top and it shows a pin and nut on the lower unit. Where do I disconnect and how?
all you need to disconnect is your bolts and then you will see at the back of the lower leg, is a pin that you need to disconnect ... that is all ... see pic ...
nope, you should be able to get in there with a spanner, if the nut is not visible then put it either in forward gear or reverse and see if the nut becomes visible .... haven't worked on my motor in ages so I am rusty ......
Ideally the motor should be tilted all the way down ..... i can\'t really give you a torque value, just not too tight so you snap them off, but tighten them in crossover, not one by one in a row ....
Sorry to say but the drive shaft will not clear in the fully down position. I put these fully up and the lower will slide out real easy. Care, these are heavy. Put the motor in forward gear to access the pin and split pin.
