The 40 merc is a odd ball. The 2 i have had both had the shaft part of the pinion gear.
2 ways to make it work. Take it apart and have the pinion cut off and resplined or like i did in a hotrod turned a sleave to a press fit , cut the shaft to length and welded it together. That will make some people scream but it works
