F90TLR lower unit gear housing removal

[jackmanjls]

A pressure test on the lower unit revealed that the seals leak so I have to replace the seals.

On the lower unit, I have removed the large threaded nut and retainer that are in back of the prop but am at a loss on how to remove the gear housing that holds the seals.

I've ordered a service manual but need to get this answered to continue on. Any ideas on how to remove?

Slide hammer.

Good idea.

The obvious places to attach would be on the inside of the 3 fin arrangements. Any other ideas?
