I hope I dont have a different housing than you on
#380.  When I did mine I found that I had
a shoulder inside the fitting, a friend also has a
shoulder in his A30. This precluded pressing out the
old cutlass bearing.  I had to cut out the old unit
with a hacksaw and pry it out.  When the new one was
installed I did not cut excess bearing flush but left
some exposed for future replacement  Also remember that
the bolts that hold the assembly to the hull are
threaded into flbre glass so dont over tighten them or
you may strip the threads.
