I just got done replacing the impeller on my 1982 Johnson 9.9 with no problems taking the lower unit off, removing the shifting cable, taking the impeller off, etc. The lower unit was snug and need some force to get it off but it did. My best guess from the impeller is that it's original to the motor.
So, after replacing everything, I'm trying to put the lower unit back on and I can only get it on with a gap of about 3/4" and can't budge it any closer to closing the gap and reattaching the bolts.
Anyone ever have this happen or know why this won't go back on? Any help would be fantastic!
