  I have changed the cutlass bearing several times -

Remove the prop
Remove the 2 screws in the housing
Unscrew (counter-clockwise) the housing from the stern tube

You can take it to a shop and the will press out the old bearing or you can 
do it yourself

Remove the 2 allen set screws on sides of the housing
Try to press out the bearing with a socket that is just the right size - or-
Using a hacksaw blade carefully cut a section lenghtwise out of the bearing 
and then push it out
Cut the new bearing to the proper length
Press the new bearing in the housing
Make sure you drill holes in the bearing through the water inlets on the 
housing
be sure there are not any burrs inside
re-assemble

Thanks Stephen for the input. Any problem hanging over the engine to do the 
work? Know anyone that put in a cutless bearing?

Peter,

I have the PSS Dripless on #114. The biggest job was separating the shaft
from the coupling. You also have to make sure there aren't any burrs on the
shaft since the o-rings provide a tight fit around the shaft. Other than
those issues, the install is straight forward.
