Hello everyone,

I have found some great info on this site and i really appreciate all the help you guys put out there for us to save a few bucks by doing the work ourselves,

My question is on a 1979 mercuiser 898, i am in the process of replacing all belows, gimbal bearing and u joints. The problem i am having is replacing getting the old u joints out and putting in the new ones. What is the easiest way to get the old ones off as the seem to be alittle rusted, also do i need to remove the shaft from the out drive to get this done.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Gary
