I'm swapping out an '88 OMC 4.3...was wondering what I have to do to put new studs for the coupler on the replacement motor?

Thanks

Re: Omc Coupler

easiest way to get the studs out is to use the old coupler nuts, screw the first one on bacwards,flage facing you about an inch, then thread the other on, jam the two together tightly with 2 wrenches.
use the inner nut to back out the stud, intallation is reverse but I also add some loc-tite and a torque wrench.

NEVER reuse the coupler nuts.
