bearing carrier nut 200 EFI...

[indianriverbound]

Trying to replace the prop seals in my 200 EFI and the 4 inch nut that holds the bearing carrier in is froze solid. Got the special tool to use on it, applied heat, stood on the breaker bar, did not move a hair. Someone told me that the only thing I could do is drill the nut on one place and break it out then reinstall with a new nut. Has anyone done this before? will this work to allow me access to pull the carriage? Desperate for any help....thanks

Did you bend the tab up on tab locking washer as it locks nut in place???

yes I did, I also found an old thread on this forum that tells how to drill it out. There is also a great you tube video that shows the proceedure....I could still use any pointers someone may have...
