GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Just separate it at the adapter to engine block flange. If it does not want to separate the shaft is rusted into the flex plate . If that happens you will have to remove the upper gear housing and the 6 bolts that retain the adapter housing and pull the whole assembly out.
found the p/n in my manual, 11009, got one on order, obviously going to be doing alot of cleaning and detail work, on both boat and engine this week, might get a little boat time this year yet....
The pilot bearing is for the auto with a standard transmission. Just be sure to grease everything before reassembly. How does the shaft that plugged into the engine feel when turning it. This would be a good time to replace the driveshaft bellows and inspect the universal joints.
thanks Kenny, yeah, checking, cleaning and lubricating and painting everything....did seaplane maintenance for almost 30 years of a 40 year aviation career, real familiar with corrosion control
