The drive shaft can corrode to the power head. So some easy tapping will
separate them sometimes. IF you can get it separated a little, shoot some
liquid wrench tpye stuff up there.

Hi,

I've been working on my 90hp Johnson outboard this weekend and I've been
trying to get the powerhead off the lower unit. I've got the generic shop
manual and I think I have all the bolts/nuts off, but when I put it on the
hoist, it won't break free? Is there something I'm missing?

The shop manual doesn't have many pictures of the powerhead and lower unit
seperating or really any good diagrams of how they actually connect. Has
anyone come across a powerhead that seems to have "fused" to the lower
unit?

Looking for possible solutions. My 1st motor so please forgive my
ignorance.

Thanks in Advance,

Darren
