"I've got a '75 electric shift stringer that let go on the lake. While tearing down the upper unit, I found the water pump shaft had stripped off and broke off in the upper pinion shaft. What I'm wondering is how I'm going to be able to remove the pinion gear from the shaft with it stripped and not being able to get a tool inside it with the piece of lower shaft still inside it. I'd rather not have to replace the entire bearing hsng. with the shaft and gear if possible. Any Ideas?"
