Reply To: Shift Lever Removal

[benj]

I have screw 25 removed. I suspect corrosion or old grease is making the lever difficult to remove. I also think the lever broke because of the corrosion/old grease. I can get the lever to rotate after some WD40 and a pair of vice grips, it was solid before that. This motor had gasket maker applied to the power head gasket and other places, along with a removed thermostat, and a lower unit from a later model 6hp. It’s a bit of a project, that’s for sure!
