The instructions I’m looking at (for a ’79 55-hp, same gearcase) call for a special pulling legs tool # 320737 to use with a flywheel puller to remove the bearing housing. ME has em at an awful price, but I think I they could be made without too much difficulty. And after that, the fun’s just beginning.
You may well need a special tool (378206) to pull the driveshaft after you’ve figured out how to remove the pinion nut without special tool 316612 to hold the driveshaft. (oh, never mind, I forgot you don’t have the top to yours ! lol)
I have a viable copy of that lower unit somewhere in my stash, available cheap. Contact me if interested.
