[QUOTE="fowlmood77, post: 25431, member: 269"] First you need to get a manual https://www.clymer.com/Book.aspx?bid=632&title=Evinrude%2fJohnson+2-40+HP+Outboards+(Includes+Electric+Motors)%2c+1973-1990 But since you asked here is the down and dirty. First drain the lube, then remove the prop to facilitate putting unit in a vice later on to work on it. Shift into foward gear, you may have to turn the shaft a little. Remove the exhaust housing cover plate (plate with 2 screws about 5 inches up from the lower unit)to access the shift rod connector, disengae the shift rod. Remove the bolts that hold the lower unit on. Remove carefully. Thats the easy part. Make sure everything lines up when you put her together(water tube with pump grommet, drive shaft with crankshaft splines and shift rod with connector) Rotate the flywheel clockwise to let the drive shaft and crankshaft engage.[/url] [/QUOTE]
