Re: OMC Driveshaft Roll Pin Installation

[Don]

I’m confused, and not sure I understand exactly what you are describing….I’m assuming you are saying that the gearcase is reassembled, but not reinstalled on the engine, and you have noticed the broken roll pin. If I am correct, it might be easiest to clamp the top of the driveshaft in a vise while an assistant holds the gearcase so it doesn’t move around/pull the driveshaft out of the vise. Now, you can use a small punch to drive the roll pin out of the top of the gearcase. Before installing the new OEM roll pin, be sure the water pump is in place! Install the new roll pin using the good advice already posted.
Let me know if I am not understanding what you are describing, perhaps a picture or two might help clarify…
