More on the subject:
> The
Volvo is fairly simple, actually.

> There are 10 bolts in the lower unit: eight around the leg itself (safety
wired), and two more further
outboard on either side of the flange.
>
> Remove the eight leg bolts, and loosen the two
outboard ones. These two will
keep the leg from falling altogether as you loosen the lower leg away from the
upper one. Get hold of the leg and wiggle it loose, and then undo these two
bolts and drop the lower leg.

> I didn't get to see the entire upper unit
removal, but what I did get is that
the
Volvo has a three-point
engine mount. You can loosen the aftermost one (at
the outdrive) and the two forward ones will allow the
engine to pivot forward
enough that you can put a piece of 2x4
wood under it to
lift the engine a bit.
Then the upper outdrive unit unbolts from the
boat, and out it comes, boot and all
