Does the engine have to come out in order to change the gimbal bearing? I have the drive off and i think if i play with it a little bit i can get that bearing out from the back but im not sure. Could someone please let me know how to go about doin this? |

You have to pull the engine to get the shaft and bearings out. |

Yes, you should remove engine and outdrive if you want to do the job safely. Please read this:

I appreciate it and el i have looked everywhere for a bearing and i know you told me that i could take it to a bearing supplier and match it but we dont have anything like that around here without having to drive 100 miles. DO you have an idea of a website that might sell them? |

Doug Russell Marine will ship almost every VP part. I am not sure what engine / drive you have, but select it from the following page:
http://www.dougrussell.com/partscatalog/volvo_omc/index.cfm?fuseaction=group&typ e=volvo&group=
They had the bearings for my AQ290 / 280 setup, #s 66 & 70 on the following page:
http://www.dougrussell.com/partscatalog/volvo_omc/index.cfm?fuseaction=comp&grou p=2324&GroupList=2316,2317,2318,2319,2320,2321,2322,2324,2323,2325,2326,2327,232 8,2329,2330,2331,2332,2334,2335,2336,2337,2338,2339,2340,2341,2342,2343,2344,234 5,2346,2347,2348,2349,2350,2351,2352,2353,2354,2355,2356
The bearings will be listed under the "CONNECTING COMPONENTS" sub catergory.
Good luck. |

When you remove the primary shaft (#69) inspect it's condition. Take some 600 grit paper and polish any burrs, corrosion or foreign material. This will ensure a nice fit between the shaft and the seal.
Good luck. |

As Mike said, you need lip seals 70 & 74 and the bearing 71.

I do not have the bearing real number, but those are very common bearings. I never had problems getting bearings and seals locally from bearing suppliers. |

Justin, same as the other one, the pilot bearing is a common type of bearing and should not be difficult to source. Also, remember that the pilot bearing does not turn, it only guides the shaft into the flywheel. |

Well when i stick my finger in it its kind of rusty,no slack, just a little rusty so while i had the engine out i figured i would go on and change it but i might just grease it and let it be. |

A new one will turn like this in 2-3 years unless it is very well greased during installation. |
