    Nothing all that exotic about it – the only real wrinkle is the connector on the shift shaft. The book says to loosen the jam nut (while holding the connector), and COUNT the number of turns required to disconnect. You’d want to use that number to reconnect when you’re putting it back together in order to stay adjusted (or close).
    The rest of the procedure appears trivial, or at least not worse than any other outboard. No special tools required.
    The book says to lightly grease the driveshaft splines, but make sure to wipe off the top..
