Volvo Penta Dual Prop (DP-SM) Wrench

[edsandra]

I recently bought a 2002 Cobolt with a 5.7 L Volvo Penta and DP-SM Dual Prop stern drive. The Volvo Penta manual says the front prop removal tool is P/N 3855876-3 . A tool with this part number is not found when I do an internet search. A lot of web sites sell a Volvo Penta dual prop wrench P/N 3855516 for the ?D & F series?. Will this wrench work for the DP-SM Dual Prop

Thanks

Ed

The 3855876 is basically a heavy duty dealer tool for the front prop only, you would still need a1 3/16" socket for the aft prop. http://www.marinepartssource.com/ne...=&mcat3=&category=&mfgcategory=&mfgno=3855876

The 3855516 is a lighter duty (and less expensive) alternative with both tools. Works fine for occasional use. http://www.nettleprops.com/store/p/218-Volvo-Penta-D-F-Duo-Prop-Wrench.aspx

Thanks for the quick response Don you are a real pro!!! The picture of the heavy duty wrench doesn't show it but I suspect it has a 3/8" or 1/2" drive on the end to allow the proper touque to be applied? The lite duty wrench does not. Is that a problem?

Thanks again,

Ed

You can borrow the one I just bought if you live in the North Texas area.....

It has a 1/2" square drive on it. I don't waste time torquing with a torque wrench. I just tighten them down tight.
Just make sure you remove the props clean and regrease the splines yearly. You do not want them stuck on the splines, and it will happen if you don't put grease on them.. Don't even think about using never seize, that's a sure way to seize them on.
