Too bad, as it will be near 70 degrees Sunday. The set screws are clearly visible on the port side. Now I need time to remove the Maxprop and try my bearing removal tool, but it won't be this weekend. I'll take photos as I go and share them (and the tool) if things go well!

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!! Joel On Saturday, December 14, 2013, Chuck S wrote: Hi Joel, Not sure how far along you are on your bearing removal? I have heard a few people found the cutless bearing came out fairly easily. Have you removed the two set screws holding it in place? The cool temperatures this winter may work to your advantage and the thing may fall out after a few good taps? I googled Bearing Separator Harbor Freight and found several choices in Automotive. Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Auto Center may lend you the tool? You'll still need to make a split sleeve to go over the shaft to press against the metal part ot the bearing. 1" pipe nipple or 1" rigid conduit cut square. Another idea is to assemble a bunch of keyways the same length and tape them or hose clamp them around the shaft to act as a sleeve. -- Joel 301 541 8551 _____ No virus found in this message.
