Chrysler 55 HP cant drop lower unit..

[tomdc]

I cant drop lower unit; all bolts are out and unit swings back and forth slightly. shift rod has become disconnected inside lower unit. can I safely tap on L.U. to perhaps help release a stuck spline shaft? or can I disassemble lower unit without removing from motor?

You have to disconnect the shifter rod that runs down to the lower unit.
