I am a pretty proficient DIY'er but I have some concerns that I'm about to enter the dark side w/o the tools or knowledge to get back over... I need to replace the carrier bearing housing in my outdrive b/c (wellll don't ask). You can see in the picture that it is missing a piece. This is on a Volvo DP-SM 1.95 outdrive. I have removed the retainer ring and now I'm ready to remove the housing but I am not sure how to do this.
1. Do I need to remove the outer prop shaft (like the manual says) to pull the carrier bearing housing out?? If not will you please explain how this can be done?
2. If it can't be done the VP Stern drive shop manual says to thread the tube gear remover fully onto the outer prop shaft and tighten the bolt. This will pull the outer propeller shaft and the bearing carrier from the gear case. (I have attached pictures of that part of the manual) If this is correct and the outer shaft comes with it, I assume the bearing carrier will just slide off or will it need to be pressed off? I have a press so that's not a problem.
3. If the only way is to remove the outer prop shaft, what am I getting myself into as far as resetting the gear lash or do I just press it all back in and that it? I have the ability to measure down to the .00001" but if I need to reset gear lash, that might be out of my comfort zone.
4. If there is anything else that I will encounter and just don't know, please fill me in.
Thank you!!
