Default Removing lower unit from 40 hp Johnson outboard - Help?

"Tony Thomas" wrote in message news:KVqdb.608756$uu5.99381@sccrnsc04...
Disconnect the shift rod from under the carb. There are two versions. One
has a bolt that has to be removed. The other has a pin that (once you
remove the shift cable and remove the pin located behind the shift arm) the
entire assembly will slide to port and allow the shift rod to be released.
Please remember to not turn the shift rod. It is adjusted to the right
height and if you turn it, you will get the adjustment out of wack and end
up stripping the clutch dog in the lower unit.

Thanks for the info Tony, this is a great resource by the way,
