    Spent a few hours on the water. Pulled upper gear case cover and only lost about 1/2” of gear oil. Will pull the SD this coming weekend and update wether it stayed in place or spun…

    What’s a “speed sleeve”? I presume that’s like a micro sleeve one would use on a crank to timing cover seal. That’s what I would ultimately want. Wanting to get the boat out so trying this. Do you have a part # for the speed sleeve? I just tried searching one and couldn’t. Thanks

    The GB I am using is new. I went ahead and used a center punch and punched 4 small punches in each of raised sections of the tolerance ring. Hoping that will “fill in” the gap of the transom race. I’ll post a pic and update in a couple weeks. I am marking the outer bearing race grease hole...

    When I say the “bearing” came out I meant the whole assembly eg GB… inner bearing, outter bearing housing and the tolerance ring as a whole. The GB is coming out without much effort. So, it is my understanding that the tolerance ring keeps the outter bearing casing connected to the transom...

    Droid…. Is the tolerance ring supposed to: - connect the transom race and the outter bearing housing together? If that’s true then two things follow that… 1) the outter bearing housing stays in place so that the beating grease hole stay line up. 2) the tolerance ring stays in place to allow...

    i think we are talking about the same thing. The “corrugated ring” is the tolerance ring. I was unsure of its name. When I installed the bearing with the correct install tool you mentioned, the 1/4” bearing grease hole was aligned to the grease insert hole and the tolerance ring was also...

    1) Yes. 2) No. It was laying on the shaft. As I pulled the SD out, it dropped into the bellow. So… technically, it came out or was never installed correctly from previous owner(s). Just a note as to what I found from pulling the SD apart… As mentioned in another post… some backyard mech pulled...

    Yes, totally full. When I tested at the house and when we hit the water. After pulling it apart… some backyard mech got all the way down the lowest o-ring but instead of replacing them he applied silicone!!!!! I’m sure that’s what allowed the oil to escape. Have since relaxed all o-rings.

    Ok… not sure what happened to my previous post???? Pulled the GB and found the bearing “spun but the center “corrugated race” piece stayed in the same spot. Going to run it and see what happens. When re-installing it… 3 wacks with a 5# hammer. I may plan on drilling 3-4 1/16 or 1/8”...

    Yeah… I did that. I jut froze it to make it easier. Ince I remove it I may try to re-insert it without freezing it to see what it does. Wish there was a ID measurement I could check against. I’m going to pull it today and see a bit more as to what’s going on. I’m hoping it was just the LU...

    Ok… short story… I purchased this Four Winns Candia 190 with the above mention motor/outdrive. It would not go into reverse. I pulled the stern drive off. Found the brass drive cable sleeve cracked and replaced. Also… the Gimble bearing (GB) was laying in the boot. Sticking with the GB issue…...
