[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 273103, member: 7544"] As for torque on the thermostat bolts, you really need a manual to get the specs. Baring that, I'd try snugging them down, starting the motor up and inspecting for leaks around the gasket. If it leaked, I'd tighten them down a little at a time until the leak stopped. But again, you really need to get a manual for your motor while you can find them and torque them properly. For the impeller, you'll need to remove all the bolts holding the lower unit on, and you might have to disconnect the shift shaft linkage somewhere. Different model motors have different setups and I'm not sure what yours uses. Mine uses a spline shaft end so they just slip together but others use threaded couplers or other methods. For all the ones I've done, the manual says put the shifter in reverse before dropping the lower unit. [/QUOTE]
