I have a 1990 Chapparel 1900 4.3l alpha one, I removed the outdrive to replace the bellows as the driveline bellow was leaking, had a large hole in it, no rust at all on the drive line and very very little milk in the outdrive oil, but I am worried about the gimbal bearing, it has inward/outward movement of about 1/16th of an inch and side to side movement of about 1/16th of an inch, does this need to be replaced? it sounds/feels like it has no grease at all in it, feels a little rough, I could not grease it tonight as my grease gun took a chit on me, so the ? is should i grease the crap out of it and then see what it feels like when turning it? and is the inward/outward,side to side movement ok? thanks in advance for any help!
