I’ve recently inherited a RDE-18C in pieces and getting ready to rebuild.
The drive shaft bushing is badly worn and drive shaft isn’t to far behind. It doesn’t look like there was any lubrication in this area. Two questions. Is the drive shaft supposed to pick up the oil in the lower unit to the bushing and what’s the best way to remove the bushing? I’m guessing it’s pushed out from the bottom but any input would be greatly appreciated.
