Been awhile since I’ve done one, but with an 18" extension of the 1/4" variety and a 7/16" wobble socket I believe (shallow head) you put the gearcase in reverse and go under the starter. With a flashlight in one hand (even in daylight) and the long socket in the other get it on the head of the screw first. (Tip: if your wobble sockets are woren like mine are wrap them in electrical tape. They will still flex, but not droop!) Now you can back out the bolt. Carefully remove the socket and remove the bolt and lock washer with mechanical fingers. Practice, the fun thing is putting it back in the dark!
Now Mercury definetly had a better idea here!!
