Reply To: Elgin Outboard Service Manuals?

Harry and Bob, thanks for the interesting replies.
When I heated the bearing cap and slapped it on the workbench,
I did so on the edge of the cap, so the bearing didn’t hit.
Second try, I put the cap over the opened vice jaws
and smacked the cap with a big plastic hammer.
I guess I’ll get more aggressive with the heat and not
worry about the seal.
Interesting about the flywheel weight….. my serial number
is 2750, so out of curiosity, perhaps I’ll weigh my flywheel.

Bob, I’ve used your “out of the box” idea for something
similar once, but can’t remember on what……. perhaps
you helped out on that one as well!

Thanks!

Prepare to be boarded!
