Default Water pump woes

Thanks for the info. I've ordered a can of Kroil.

get it up a couple of threads and tried to get some Liquid Wrench to

REALLY don't want to do is break it off in the lower unit casting. Any
suggestions for getting it out intact?


Kroil and PB Blaster are both better penetrating oils than Liquid
Wrench. Apply liberally, tap lightly with a hammer, turn back and
forth, repeat...
