I have a 90 Evinrude 48 SPL motor and am in need of a puller for the front propeller shaft bearings all the way down in there. Can anyone point me in the right direction to where I can purchase one. I have the bearings and gear set coming on Monday so I'd like to get these removed as I want to get this unit back together. The lower unit was waterlogged so the bearings are pitted. Any help would be greatly appreciated..........................

Have you tried taking it to a local dealer and have them pull it for you, might be cheaper than buying a tool.

That's what I'm trying to do if someone can point me in the proper direction.

You might want to try E-Bay. Lots of tools out there.

I meant maybe your local dealer would order the factory tool for you.

You might find them cheaper on E-Bay.

Might have to try this. I'm checking with a machine shop in the AM which was recommended by my local boat shop, go figure.......
