Took apart a little more of the Firestone today, but so far I’m not able
to get the front cover off (where the inboard prop bearing would be).
The cover itself is loose, but it tries to pull along the prop shaft and all the
innards……. which ain’t gonna happen. Perhaps it’s the inner bearing that’s
froze up preventing the lower unit from spinning over?
Other concerns are, that when I pulled the power head off, I see that the
drive shaft is way over to one side, with tension on it……. bent???
Ever try to look down a 1-1/4" tube with a trouble light? Can’t see nothing!
Flywheel still won’t pop off, and so far I’m chicken to get the torch out.
Thoughts on the lower unit would be great. Thanks, Bucanneer
