How to remove the outdrive on a Volvo Penta?

How do you remove the outdrive on a 1997 3.0L Volvo Penta GS, SX Outdrive? Can someone give me step by step instructions please? Thanks.|||First remove the back cover. it has a long machine screw on the bottom and half a wing nut in a slot at the top. Do not unscrew the top one completely, just enough so the cover comes off.





Under there you will find a "T" bar and link rod remove it. Then 2 6mm bolts hold the shift cable on. Take all the fasteners off the shift cable so it will slide off the lower unit.





Now raise it some and go after the exhaust boot and u-joint boot where they are clamped to the lower. Next below the exhaust boot is the water line. Get it un clamped as well and inspect the manifold for air leaks.(you do know there is no water pump in the volvo lower unit?)





Next is 2 allen heads holding the "helmet" steering yoke on.





Finally is 2 big pins going in from each side Held in place with 2 allen pinch bolts. These pins have a puller hole drilled and taped in them should they be tight. Now you must support the lower or put it on the ground as it will spin on you and break something.





With the pins out, it should be loose and come right out.
