Hello,
I have a 1965 Mercury 110 9.8 HP, went in to replace the propeller seal, i got the bearing carrier nut out, and when trying to tap out the propeller shaft after removing this bearing carrier nut, I could get no further. after giving up because nothing was moving, i noticed the propeller shaft would now not find reverse, only forward and neutral.
Is there a trick to getting at the prop shaft seals, or removing the propeller shaft and bearing carrier deal?
Do i need to do anything to the top half of the lower unit to get that propeller shaft out? The bearing carrier itself is not stuck in place as it spins in place.
Also, how terrible is it that I can only get neutral and forward to lock in when I spin the propeller shaft after I had done some light tapping on softgrip vice attached to the end propeller shaft?
The motor ran great up to this point. any help would be much appreciated.
