For some reason I’m not able to access the forums from Drop Down List
on the top on the home page. Went under my name and used the
“Topics Started” drop down.
Is it just me having problems?

Anyway, I got that pesky ball bearing out of the gear housing today,
heating it up with a hair dryer for a while and slapping the housing
down on the bench. That was the easy part. There’s grease galleys
from the outer housing feeding the long bronze prop bushing.
Old grease was hard to clean out, but mineral spirits, little tiny bottle brush,
and the air compressor finally paid off. I had grease all over my face,
clothes, and garage floor. Snuck in the basement and threw my clothes
in the wash machine…… all by themselves!

Prepare to be boarded!
