but as far as the shifter linkage, should I have it in forward, neutral or reverse prior to removing it again or does it matter it's position?

To me, I don't really care what position it is in on the Johnrudes, the way the linkage hooks up it can only go back together one way right. Mercs are different with the splined shift shaft attachment at the foot it matters, BUT not on your motor. You can always remove the shift cable from the saddle to make the linkage line up after the repair/maintenance.

Cool, thanks for the information. I am going to give my idea a shot tonight, and see what happens. I have been thinking about it and I keep leaning torwards just applying a little pressure everyday on the bolts rather than just wrenching them down all in one day. I am hoping my strategy works as I am quickly running out of ideas.

Be very carefull not to muck up those threads. Not very hard to do.
I had one disobey me one time. I ended up taking it to the shop and they got it off but did not tell me how.

One last question before I proceed with my plan on trying to remove the lower unit. I was thinking about drilling a 11/16" hole in the center part of the engine up torwards the top where it meets up with the actual powerhead section so that I could see the driveshaft and hopefully be able to get some penetrant on the splines. I will lower the nose of the trailer to the ground and tilt the motor all the way up to help. My question is what is normally behind that section or is it just hollow? I can come back later and put threads in that and just put a bolt in it when I am through to plug the hole I made, I just want to try and get something on those splines before I start with the bolts. Your thoughts as they are always appreciated and helpful.

I wouldn't drill up there as you will dril lthrough the exhaust tuner. And if you do that you will have ALOT of work ahead of you as you will have to pull the powerhead, get the rusted and corroded mounts apart and then pull the powerhead adapter off to repair your exhaust tuner.
