Good Morning,
I am working on a '62 evinrude 40hp.
Inside the lower unit there are 2 bearings - an upper and lower needle bearing that the pinion gear goes into.
The smaller needle braing, the upper, is frozen and is actually been ground down flat by the shaft on the pinion bearing (this is the shaft that receives the driveshaft).
I got a new bearing ordered, they were suprisingly only $15 (that's a first).
Here is my question: Can I use some sort of puller to remove and then install with a brass punch?? I am trying to avoid a $75 fee to have it presssed in - PLEASE help... this is my second post on this topic and NO ONE answered before!
Thanks!
