[QUOTE="Davidius, post: 359419, member: 14614"] Today's progress isn't much. I got my seals in the mail and I took my lower unit apart to reseal it. Ha! All internals look great, there is a drain in the bottom of the exhaust housing that lets any accumulated water drain out which was filled with silt that became cement. It's deep enough I can't get a drill bit to it so I used a cut up coat hanger. Several frustrating minutes of scratching with a bent coat hanger and blowing it out with the compressor I got stuck on top of what turned out to be a lock washer, most likely from a waterpump bolt. After that got chipped out I got down about an inch and was stopped again. I was sure I hit bottom and blew out the hole. I didn't hit bottom, I hit the water pump bolt the washer probably went to. After my neighbors were convinced someone wasn't being murdered in my driveway I got back into it and sprayed brake clean in the hole hoping it will soften the soil and let my wobble the bolt loose.
