DH, MHALL and AC all make very good points you may want to consider. if you choose to go ahead and remove the unit, then the two lock nuts should be all you need to loosen. Once loosened, about a 1/4", break the unit free of the motor and then ease down while loosening the nuts further. The pick-up line should be in the front and visible. There will be a stay knob on the rear of the unit to help in lining up when you put back together. Also run a small bead of silicone around the top of the unit to seal. The main thing to remember is to be careful and not marr the splines on the shift rod. You may try DH's drill bit trick first. Iv'e done this and it works. just go easy and do not get it into the plastic line. Check the bit often and use easy pressure. Usually if the bit finds wood you can see it and once it passes the wood, the water in the line above the wood will start to drip out. Good Luck in what you decide to do!!
