Well, I got the powerhead off last night. Apparently I need to do a little
more checking to make sure I have all of the nuts off. There were 2 nuts
tucked away that I had missed. Kind of obscure under the powerhead but
still no excuse.

After that, it basically fell apart. Too bad I had hammered on it so much!
Good learning experience though. Sometimes those shop manuals could have
better pictures/diagrams, but still.... not an excuse.

Thanks for the help everyone,

Darren

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
