First time to change shaft, bushings and seals. I have all the manuals with instruction, just wanted to know if anyone had tips, tricks or pointers. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1342806073.094219.jpg

watch the threads when you go past the new seals, it can cut them. easier with 2 people.

x2 on the threads and seals, i wrap electrical tape around threads. If you cant get ur prop off dont sweat it if ur changing the shaft. just take the the old shaft and put it in a vice. every time you take off prop always chase threads in prop and shaft. if you have a bushing at top, use a feeler guage .003" and center the bushing by moving the motor. I have a homemade bushing puller, its a 2 foot piece of allthread with a notch in one end and a large weight that slides at the other end. I can do mine in less than an hour. If my bushing at top is good then less than that.
