I have an E50BELCOB, 1985 50hp that I am rebuilding the lower unit on. Everything is apart and ready for assembly, but I'm having a difficult time with the shimming specifications. The service manual calls for OMC special shimming tool #320739, which I cannot find ANYWHERE. However, I've been told that shimming tool #328366 with Collar #328363 is the replacement. Can anyone confirm that? Does anyone have experience with this process? I've placed my driveshaft with the thrust washer/bearing and the original shims in the holder and with tool #328366, I have about 1/8 of clearance. That seems like something is wrong.
Thank you.
