    Success!! Screwdrivers didn’t work, but punch got it out. Not as rusty as I thought. I guess running it dry of oil overheated it and the heat caused everything to seize up. Will soak all parts for another day and start cleaning up and order gaskets etc. Drive shaft and shift rod bearings look ok. I’d rather not replace them unless one of you experts insists otherwise. Once this one is back running I have similar vintage Johnson 10, Evinrude 15, E 18, E 3 and an old old Johnson 1.5, all in need of various repairs. Should keep me busy for a few years!
    Thanks again.
