I pulled my outdrive and water milky water/oil came out of the u-joint bellow. I cleaned it up the best I can, and pumped new grease into the gimbal until the milk stopped, and fresh grease was coming out. <br /><br />My question is related to:<br /><br />The gimbal bearing turns smoothly, but seems to be a little "tight". I know it's hard to explain, but how "freely" should I be able to turn it by hand.<br /><br />I guess a follow up question is. How hard is it to change the bearing. I can get a transom service kit, which includes the bearing is about $90, and since I have the drive off anyway, I think I should just replace it. Do I need to replace anything else with the bearing, or just the bearing itself, and are the any special tools to remove or install the bearing, or can I use standard automotive type tools.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your advice.<br /><br />-Dave
