I have a 5 hp force outboard that I was changing the water pump on and I pulled the drive shaft out on accident and the pinion fell out of place. So I drained the oil out and I tried to put it back with a extendable magnet but it just fell further in so I now I need to pull the hub. But I cant get the hub to come out. I took out the 4 screws but it wont come out. Tried heating it up with torch but still cant get it out. Not sure if I need a special puller or something? Does it just fit in there or does it screw in? And also the forum wont let me upload pictures for some reason? Thanks in advance, JM

I could be way off??


#23 half moon.

The bearing cage. You might have to push it in and remove a keeper.
It doesn't show it on the parts diagram.
It might be a half moon shaped piece of wire?????

Yes I tried shaking it upside down but it did not work, I will try again This is the diagram for my lower unit. Still not sure how the hub comes out. My unit does not have thru hub exhaust it has a shear pin. Thanks JM
