That's a relatively easy job: Remove the four bolts holding the lower unit onto the midleg. Then--I forget--put it in the gear which moves the shift rod down. Spread the lower unit from the midleg--it will only go 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Reach into the gap and remove the screw holding the upper and lower shift rods together. Now, pull off the lower unit.

Remove the four bolts holding the water pump onto the lower unit, remove the pump, and replace the impeller.

Sometimes with old engines, the drive shaft sticks inside the crankshaft. If this happens, wiggle the lower unit while turning the flywheel.

thanks for that great info frank, yeah it was nice and easy really, could i pick your brains with something else? just after i done the impeller, i started it up and run and pumped water great, then it died, i've got no spark to both plugs? would i be right and saying i've got to take the fly wheel off and look under???? is there an easyer way of testing??? and would both coils have died at the same time???? sorry for all these Q's any help would be great many thanks dan
