should just be a case of removing the impellor hsg remove the drive shaft, once the drive shaft and pinion gear are removed from the top of the gearbox this should then allow the main shaft with the reverse and forward gears and clutch assy on to slide out the gearbox housing,
i think

Sounds like your prop bush has gone. or both bush and gearbox

the prop can be rotated in reverse when in forward gear it makes a clicking noise andm is free turning as if not in gear but if you rearly pull on the prop it pops pasted rotates in the right direction stange

as wacky racer says iit could be the rubber bush in the prop, is the shaft the prop is on turning as well as the prop when you have it in gear and force is applied?
if not its the bush, if it is turning the problem is in the guts of the box.
the engine moving about could be if the bush stops slipping if it is that! then the prop takes a grip.

From the sounds you've described is gear not bush,
don't try takin box apart, no offence but is specialist job gettin measurements of play etc,
seek engineer to do it for you,
may cost more but don't wanna do it yourself then a tiny bit of play ruin it the first time you go out.

my old man is a yamaha tec but has never worked on a merc before so it seams the same but the bearing holder is stuck solid with corrotion we have tryed a slide hamer and suff but cant move it has any one had this problem i know the have at his work and the just bin the skeg and box

Try heat to the outercasing.

Put the prop on(preferably an old one), but not all the way. Put a couple of pieces of packing either side into the gap between prop hub a gearbox outer face, and then wind the prop nut. On your lower you probably don't need to remove gear selector shaft, but to be safe take it out anyway beforehand. Once it breaks free you can continue with the slide hammer
