Lower Unit Changeout

[mudcatwilly]

I have a 1990 Suzuki DT85 and I need to remove the lower unit and put on a replacement lower unit. I've never done this. My understanding so far is that there are a few bolts to remove in the lower unit and one shift linkage pin located on the power head. Can somebody kinda lay out how I'm supposed to do this. I have some mechanical skills, but not with boats. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Lower Unit Changeout

like justintime said check the diagram on www.brownspoint.com, then you will see on the lower unit there is 4 or 6 bolts (can't remember), that you need to very carefully take out (they snap easy) so you need to pre-treat them with deep penetrating oil .....
