Are you saying the bearing housing is turning or the prop shaft is turning?
It should take a puller to remove the exhaust housing.

Re: 1982 50 hp evinrude outboard

the bearing housing is turning after i remove the three bolts but it want come out, what type of puller do i need

Re: 1982 50 hp evinrude outboard

Are there a couple of threaded holes in the end of the housing?

 

[chris88douglas]

Re: 1982 50 hp evinrude outboard

no i dont see any

Re: 1982 50 hp evinrude outboard

If there are no threaded holes, the factory puller has a couple of long "J" shapped attachments that slipped under the webs in the housing, and used a 2 ear puller. You might get by with bending some all-thread rods and using a 2 ear puller.

Re: 1982 50 hp evinrude outboard

where would i purchase this puller? would replacing the o-ring stop the lower unit oil from leaking?

Re: 1982 50 hp evinrude outboard

There are several places that could cause a water leak, propshaft seals, housing o-ring, bolt o-rings, vent/fill gaskets, shift shaft o-ring or gasket, seals on driveshaft under water pump.
Most auto parts stores will sell a puller that will work, make sure that it is wide enough to span the bearing housing.

Part #28 is always referred to as the "Carrier Assembly". If it is revolving, it should easily come out of there.

Use a slide hammer that has a hook on the end of it. The hook will grab the fin portion of the carrier nearest the propeller and the slide hammer action will easily yank it out of there.

Re: 1982 50 hp evinrude outboard

I've used the puller and it is no coming out, im afraid its going to crack, if it already hasent . anything else you suggest before i damage it

Re: 1982 50 hp evinrude outboard

i think i made a mistake i loosen the bolts, do i need to take them all the way out before i pull on it?

Re: 1982 50 hp evinrude outboard

Yes, the bolts have to come out completely, if you are talking about the 3 bolts in the carrier assy.
