    ever try to turn the motor upside down and drip some loose-nut or PB Blaster along the drive shaft for a few days to let it soak in… assuming it would bypass the “o” ring of course …?

    I did try that on this 9.5. I have tried it in the past as well….never with good success. After two weeks of hanging upside down, squirting PB, and various shaking and tapping manuevers…I decided to try something more aggressive.

    When I finally got it apart…the PB Blaster had never actually gotten into the splines area. Everywhere else but…..

    I get a lot of salt water engines out where I am; makes life miserable at times 🙁
