Thanks Buccaneer. Seems like I have the early direct drive. I still do not see what is holding the cavitation plate and section below it to the leg so I can access the impeller. If you look at my picture you will see the hole I am talking about which is threaded. I do not see this in the drawing view. What does that screw do? It is possible it is broken inside and is holding together the sections? Note that when i removed the horseshoe clip on the prop shaft that the gear slides easily so it is not holding anything.

I am almost there. If you want to communicate better and have the part description of early direct drive that will help so I can name the parts better.

thanks
