I sold my PCM 351 to one fellow and the 10-17 transmission to another and I can't remove the transmission from the bellhousing. Please, how do I get them apart?

Sam,
Pull the bell housing off the engine and you'll be able to do apply force (light hammering with a wood block) to the trans while supporting the bell. The trans and the bell housing has a piloted bore (a step). It's probably corroded. Some Kroil (penetrating lube) or equal will help too. |

I'll correct Pete, Heavy hammering with a block of wood...side to side until you see a gap, then 2 screwdrivers to pry from housing.
havnt broke one yet Pete |

I always try to be on the safe side! You know if I had mentioned "heavy" and he went after it with a sledge braking something then it would be my fault!! It's the same principle as we talked about before - the block of wood between the prop and the hull and then the 8' cheater bar on the wrench!!! |

That's all mine takes before it's in my lap or on my toes! Plus a slight lift from underneath, but that's on the picker; not in the boat. And if there's the slightest bit of oil anywhere, it's like trying to play catch with a wet cannon ball.

It took me 3 hours to get the bellhousing off, what a job. I soaked the inside of the bellhousing with rust-buster and I'll try to get the transmission separated from bellhousing tomorrow.
Thank you all for your suggestions. Sam |

Sam,
What was preventing the bell housing from coming off? Was the splined trans input shaft rusted into the dampner plate hub? I remember KO's down in Aruba was. They ended up pretty much destroying the dampner to get the trans/bell housing off. |

if thats the case, pull the starter and unbolt the damper from the flywheel, would cut your time down to 15 minutes, in my case...20 bucks lol
