Replacing a gimbal bearing.

[ezjtdoc]

I have a 88' cobra stern-drive, I have never replaced a gimbal bearing before. Is this a job better left to the experts ???

If you have never replace the Gimbal Bearing, you likely have never replace the drive shaft bellows.
IMO, it's time to do all.

I have looked at a few videos on youtube on pulling the bearing, I think I can handle it. I just need to take the right approach on re-installing the new bearing. I will most definitely take your advice and change the bellows, which looks like having it all apart will make the gimbal job easier. "Thank you".
