Hello All,
A good friend of mine has a 1991 3.0 with an Alpha 1. They started getting some weird noises from the back of the boat that seem to follow engine RPM. He wanted to pull the drive to check the gimble bearing, u-joints, and everything else back there.
Anyway, he shifted it into forward gear and removed the 6 (?) bolts. He removed the hydraulic rams. He even pulled the bellows off thinking maybe they were holding it in place.
He simply cannot get it to seperate. Has anyone had similar problems, or is it possible he is missing something? I plan on swinging over there tonight after work to give him a hand, and would love to know any tricks or secrets to these drives.
Thanks in advance!
