I have a '92 Johnson 48 SPL and am trying
to reseal the lower unit. I have the unit off, prop shaft bearing carrier out, waterpump assembly out but can not for the life of me get the bearing carrier housing on the drive shaft out. I already have the nut off the bottom of the shaft and have heated it, beat on it, sprayed it with PB...it just won't budge. The motor was used in salt water prior to me owning it. <br /><br />I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice to get this apart?
I asked at the local shop and his only suggestion was "fire wrench!! (torches)..which we've been doing. Right now, my brother has the unit right now...the plan is to fit 2-3 collars on the drive shaft itself and use a multi-ton press to "pull" it out.
<br /><br />Any and all suggestions welcome and appreciated!
