Do you have to pull the drive shaft out with the motor when pulling the motor and put it back in with the drive shaft mounted to the motor? I have only worked and can pull screen and unhook drive shaft to pull it. This 1974. I don't see how you can't put the screen and drive shaft on after you put the motor in? What the tricks?

No just unbolt the engine from the engine at the flex plate. Roger

Just did mine (74) yesterday, but mine doesnt have the 140 style of screen on it, so mine was super easy to do.

It's much easier to just un hook the drive shaft at the hydro and pull it out.

Yeah I agree. I can get it out that way. But when putting it back in. You can't bolt the screen back on. You can't put those long bolts in which is fine but shaft that the bolts go through? There's no way to hold those in place while putting the screen on. I unbolted the screen. Slid it back and those round cylinders fell. So know I'll unbolt the 2 bolts that hold the drive shaft on. I'm wondering how to get the screen on. If you bolt that all on before putting motor back in. You Wong be able to hook drive shaft up.
