 Man, I tried. I guess I just got bad luck. I beat it this morning before I went to work. Not one budge. I soaked it down with more WD40 and came back this evening and beat on it some more with my mini maul. I've hit hard enough to mangle the very top of the stud. I've tried lightly prying the lower unit from the tailshaft, but I'm afraid something will break. I see no way to get the stupid thing off. Anything else I should try to do before I just put it back together, cut off the top 1/4 of the front stud and bolt it down and let it rip until the pump does go out?

If you got it to drop an 1/8, try gently driving a couple wedges in the gap.

Yes CTerrebonne, I do have a very small gap all the way around. I can see through the gap anough to make out the waterpump housing and I can make out the shiftshaft rod. I still would like to think that it's not the driveshaft, that it's that front stud that isn't moving at all.
I almost thought about taking a sawzall blade in the gap and cutting off the stud, but I know that's going to be asking for trouble, because the rear bolt from under the anode tab was missing when I took off the anode. Just a straight hole all the way. And I'm positive that there is not a bolt still in it because I can seperate them enough to see the anode bolt and there is nothting else in the way.
