Hey everyone.. I have been trying to get this bearing carrier for the past 2 weeks now and still it won't budge. It has been soaking in penetrating fluid the entire time.
The engine was used in saltwater and I assume the lower unit was never taken apart, hence it being so stuck...lol
I have used heat at the point of burning the paint off in spots while having the puller attached at the same time for almost 14 straight days...
I had already cut the retaining nut out because it wouldn't budge either, so I figured that would get rid of one stuck part
I have been using part of a regular harmonic balancer puller with some turnbuckles used to connect under the carrier.
