I have a 1984 Johnson 6hp and just replaced the impeller and water pump. I am having a serious problem getting the lower unit back on. Everything seems to line up shaft, water tube but it will not come back together. How much force is necessary. I can get it to within an inch or so but as I tighten the 3 bolts the prop will not turn. Thanks
 
Sounds like your driveshaft is not lining up.Turn flywheel & wiggle lower unit with slight up presure.Make sure shift linkage is lined up,& water tube.
