| Post subject: | mud buddy prop shaft difficulties |
My bleeder screw to grease my lower unit broke off. I've tried easy outs and everything else, no luck. So now I need to disassemble the outdrive to drill out bleeder screw and re tap a bigger size. I have the prop side seals out just part of the race showing. I have the C clip and seal out on the gear side. I've read the forum on the MB forum that everyone recommends but still don't understand a few things. It says use a pipe wrench first on the gear side to remove race. On the gear side does the race come out counter clockwise? It says to use a pipe wrench on the gear side but there is only a little bit of race showing and the pipe wrench wont grab. Does the shaft come out the prop side? is the race on the prop side threaded? |

The shaft will come out either way. I prefer to pull from the prop side. The seal cap on the prop side is left hand thread. Use a big crescent wrench if possible, pipe wrenches tear the shit out of the nut. I use a long 5/8" dia. bar to knock out the front bearings from prop side knocking them out towards the driven gear end. The shaft is a press fit into the bearing races. Use a brass bar or a piece of brass stock to tap the shaft out of the outdrive towards the prop side. |
