The gearcase I’m working on now is the ’86 model. Glad to hear your instructions I suspected that would be what the job called for when reviewing the parts diagram/manual. The pinion nut is the new one for me, I’ll see what I can do in terms of tools once I get there.
Last night I had to grind down a 1/4" x 3/8" socket adapter to fit into the thru-hub exhaust orifice to remove those 3 screws. Thankfully I had a 12" socket extension that was narrow enough to get in there. Then I realized I didn’t have any bolts long enough or the right thread size to get at the puller orifices!
The hardware store people will be scratching their heads when I walk in their this morning looking for some hardened bolts with the right thread count…then off to get a couple welded together so they reach!
Thanks for the help!
