i've had a couple stuck just remove the power head with the motor still on the boat that way you use the weight of the hull to pull it apart, works everytime. just start lifting to power head till the boat is lifting then get in the boat a bounce the hull a little they pop loose everytime. then you only need a new powerhead gasket and remove the lower unit and remember to GREASE the drive shaft splines lol. plus while the power head is off look inside and inspect the water and exhaust ports for salt damage.
