The  threaded rod will be installed in the stern tube exiting in side of  the
boat and  at the cutlass bearing. I have 1/4 plates that are  placed over the
tube and cutlass. Put the bearing in the freezer for a few  hours, put some
lube on the cutlass bearing surface and draw the bearing  into the casting.
The bearing is longer than needed and will have to cut  when installation is
completed. 




As they say in research of a very innovative, well thought out, simple,  
highly effective procedure, 'a very elegant technique'. :)
 
Obviously you are getting the prop shaft out. How do you get the shaft out  
of the coupling?
 
thx,
