First you need to drain the gear lube from the drive unit.
Remove the lower and upper drain & vent screws and let all the oil drain.
Next, use either a 5/16" or a 3/8" Allen wrench and remove the anode from above the prop.
Now look up where the adone was mounted and you will see a hidden screw. Remove this screw with a 5/16" Allen wrench.
Now use a 5/8" deep socke and remove the two nuts from under the ventilation/cavitaion plate.
Remove the front nut at the very front of the drive with a 5/8" wrench.
Now use a 5/8" open ended wrench and unthread the two side nuts until they reach and touch the housing. One nut at a time unthread each nut and allow the nuts to push on the housing to aid in separating the housings.
Eventually you will get a space between the two housings in which you can GENTLY pry the housings apart.

How do you change impeller Johnson 15 HP outboard?
Remove the 6 or so bolts that hold the lower unit onto the leg of the outboard. There is an access panel with 2 screws on it that you have to remove as well that allows you to disconnect the shifting rod. Remove the little panel and loosen ONE of the bolts on the coupler. Pull the lower unit off of the leg, and when you stand it straight up, you will see a cover with about 4 bolts on it. That's the water pump housing. unbolt it, remove and you will see the impeller inside. The only tricky part of re assembly is making sure you get the coupler lined up for the shifter.
