All
I’m trying to install a a PSS shaft seal on my 1983 Landfall 38.
got reasonable access to V-Drive transmission , got everything ready , but
could not for the life of me remove shaft coupler , its really stuck on shaft ,
and of course I need to be able to remove the shaft partially from boat to
install the dripless .
I used everything I had including a 5 ton puller on shaft coupler using an
impact gun on the puller bolt screw at one point and it never budged AT ALL. I
Heated coupler with electric heat gun still never moved ..cant use gas torches
because the transmission seal is right there and it will get ruined.
Everything requires removing coupler first to proceed foward with dripless.
Boat is freshwater all it’s life, and I know they are dissimilar metals (SS
Shaft, steel coupler, bronze key (?).
Am I missing something? Is there a bolt or otherwise somewhere that I am
missing?
Thanks,
John
