Suzuki DF150 stuck bearing carrier on lower unit

[racerone]

Bearing carrier with bearings and seals is not expensive.-----So it must come out first.---Get it out.----Drill it to weaken it.----Split it in say 4 places with a Dremel and save the gear housing from brute force.

Op is in the Philippines , everything has to be shipped in, duties have to be paid and the exchange rate needs to be considered ,also, depending on availability it could take a month or longer to get it landed and who knows how long till the actual part is in his hands.

i don't the price or availability here in Australia but depending , it may work out for the OP do do as you suggest too drill / hack it out and have one shipped from a dealer network here.

i remember back when i shipped parts to a fellow on an island there , the killer was the duties, however it still worked out more viable for him to buy used from me and have them shipped.

you do realize that heating is going to cook whatever is holding that carrier in place, O-ring , corrosion etc.
with that said and contradictory, use a good lubricant and some "gentle heat" to help make it soak , adding water and boiling will sometimes break down crevice corrosion.

Thanks, worth a try..

Cheers
