Re: What model outdrive do I have?
Those are the instructions I used to pull the upper unit. Bushing #11 is in pieces and the tube was shifted to the left pinching the seal on the water neck. So it looks like the rest of my drive is coming off and coming apart. If you have any tips on removing the side pins and disassembling my drive I would be very thankful.
You may have let onto those details in your first post.
To fully remove the outdrive, simply remove the pin retaining bolts and pound the pins in toward the center of the outdrive. You may need to turn steering helmet one way or the other so the pins don't hit it. Us a brass drift to pound out the pins, as they are soft and can mushroom, making them impossible to remove. I built a rolling outdrive stand to support the outdrive and pull it away from the transom shield easily.
Once removed, you'll need to seperate the intermediate from the lower and disassemble the intermadiate to replace the upper pivot bushing.
I would replace the following parts as well.
two pivot pin bushings
needle bearing cage assembly
two needle bearing seals
three new orings to go between the lower and intermediate assemblies for reinstall.
Again, I would break the outdrive down before ordering parts. you never know what else you may need.
