P D S Removal on 1995 5.7 GI VP DP

If there is no grease zert on flywheel housing does that mean that the pds can come out the aft. There is no tag on outdrive and I don't know if this dp is a A-2 Or a C- 1 or something else. Books claim C-1 is used in that year. Many Thanks

Post a picture of the drive and transom shield from the side. A full engine model or SN would sure help as well.

Wish I could But I Don't have access to boat it is in storage at lake 200 mi. away. Lake mech. says motor needs to come out and I was trying to find out if that could be avoided. (26' cruiser not fun to tow)

If the exhaust exits through the lower unit housing [not through the props], this would be one of the later main suspension fork and pivot tube drives. [no gimbal suspension system]
If you have this style, you're getting poor advice. There's no need to remove the engine with a single bearing primary drive shaft.
Unless you find very bad corrosion, this shaft should remove from the rear with the upper unit off and out of your way.

Bearing is a 6206 2RS, or any sealed 6206 in a high quality.

The PDS and bearing Jerry is talking about is the same for either the A-2 or C-1 drives.

You still need pics or numbers to determine which drive you have.
