Chuck,
Still in the planning stage. My boat should have been hauled Thursday but
the tide was so low I could not get the boat to the travel lift. It should
be hauled at high tide Monday.
The HF bearing separator kit (or a borrowed one) might be the easy way out.
I'll check the local auto supply places. Thanks for the tip! Otherwise
I'll cut and drill 2 end plates and buy some threaded rod. Once I see the
clearance I'll decide what to use for the sleeve. I'm hoping a piece of
PVC will fit, but I doubt it.
I'll remember the set screws!!
