[Public-list] shaft bearing removal

[Roger L. Kingsland]

Albergers, 

Because the shaft seems a little loose, last weekend a friend and I tried to remove the casting that contains the shaft and bearing.  It is at the aft end of the keel appears to be surface mounted.  We removed the bolts top and bottom and beat on it a little but it wouldn't budge.  Any suggestions please as to how to get it off without causing damage?

Thanks,

Roger Kingsland
