Evinrude 35516 Pinion Bearing re-assembly. 59 35hp

Resealing my lower unit and need some advice on how to reassemble the pinion bearing in the lower gear case. It’s the one where all the rollers fall out. Can someone tell me a trick, I’m about to hurt something.

If you're referring to having the rollers falling out.... pack them in with a wheel bearing grease, Triple Guard grease... something that has some sticky holding power.

Joe, you saved me again. Simple, but effective idea I hadn’t thought of. THANK YOU! The first time was your carb tuning breakdown. Can’t thank you enough.
