Thank you I'll check to make sure I get them in order on reassemblyPinion thrust washers are different diameters, and must be assembled in correct order.
When I have it back together and turn the prop shaft by hand I notice a free turning portion and a tight portion in the revolution of a turn. Not so tight I can't turn the shaft just have to grip it tight to complete the revolution of the shaft. What might be causing this?Thank you I'll check to make sure I get them in order on reassembly
