I am trying to replace my water pump and i can't get the lower gear housing off. all the bolts are removed as the manual requires, but i can't seem to break it free. any suggestions? boat is in nuetral, i tried putting it in gear but that didn't work either. Does the prop really need to come off?

it was the bolt under the trim tab that i missed. the manual i had didn't mention that bolt.
I have a new problem now. while i had the lower unit off, the bolt for the trim tab fell out and i didn't put it back in when i put the lower back on. the head of the bolt is to large to fit down the access hole used to tighten this bolt with an allen wrench. are there any alternatives to taking the unit apart again to get this bolt back in place?
