Replacing aft Jackshaft bearing on1988 260 Mercruiser with Alpha 1 drive

[torbau]

What is the best method to replace this bearing ? I assume it needs to have the outdrive pulled to do this?

Have you done this bearing replacement?
Is it difficult to remove the bearing from the jackshaft? What about removing the bearing from the bracket?
Is there anywhere that I could find a procedure to do this job?

Can't link it here as the website name is blocked out but you'll need to find OEM Mercruiser service manual # 3 and look up both pages in section 2E and 8C. Here they would be for you. Just copy and paste it in an online search with adding the info below.
