Thanks for the suggestions guys. Yes, it wasn’t as hard to take off the gear case as it may have looked – and yes, impact driver was a needed tool on those screws for the rear housing. What I immediately noticed after separating the gear case was the water tubes going up into the exhaust housing seem rather fixed in place as opposed to my other motors with a single tube where the tube flopped around more, so getting those 2 tubes to line up with the pump housing doesn’t seem to be as much of a challenge as I originally thought it would be.
