Ok, so i've read posts and watched youtube vids about a impeller replacement and I have a question.
I have a 1986 Celebrity 5.0 Merc I/O. It doesn't say alpha or bravo on it, but as far as I can tell it's an alpha (also, I don't see a circulating water pump with the engine, and others tell me that also means its an alpha.
Anyway, I am stuck removing the lower unit from the upper unit of the outdrive. I've removed four nuts from unexposed bolts (the bolt heads are all internal to the outdrive, all video i've seen have removable bolts, probably not relevant but trying to describe my outdrive). Anyway, the four bolts I've removed is the one inside the rear anode housing (the one you need the allen key to access from underneath once you remove the anode), the one on the front near-transom side of the outdrive (where the wrench is wedged into the transom housing to get it off), and then one on each side.
I'm wiggling, prying.... It's not budging. it's just stuck there.....
From what I read, I'm missing a bolt, it should move with a little wiggling. But for the life of me I can't get it to release.
Help!
