I know pictures would probably help but my camera broke.
I have a 2003 25 hp yamaha 4 stroke outboard, the bearing at the mid point of drive shaft where it sits on the lower unit busted. Roller pins all out and retaining outer part of bearing came off all twisted up. Here's my question, the inner hub of bearing will not come off. It is like it's made to be there. It is solid on the shaft, there is a coupling right above it that is made onto the shaft, but this bearing will not budge. I really haven't hammered down on it yet, because I don't want to bend drive shaft because that's big money. Will heat work, soak it in something, muratic acid maybe. Any ideas. I know y'all guys know what to do
