"Hi there,
Can anyone tell
"Hi there,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to pull the primary shaft and bearing from the bellhousing without having to take the engine out of the damned boat?
Can the shaft be drilled and tapped and then pulled by using a slide hammer ?
Can the seals then be renewed and as importantly can the shaft and bearing then be re-inserted / re-located?
To take the engine out will be a real "screamer" for me.
If I have to - I suppose I have to !!
On a similar topic, can the U-Joint spiders and bearing caps be replaced on a 290 SP drive without having to take the upper gear housing apart ? It looks like it is possible to remove and replace the caps from the yoke that is embedded in the gear housing - but then again maybe not.
Has anyone been over this ground before ?
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Doug"
