[Public-List] Cutlas bearing help please

[Mike Lehman]

Gord,
 
p - if you have kept pulling and prying, you would have pulled the tube out of the boat, or at least broken the seal. It just unscrews, you may want to clamp another pipe wrench on the inside of the tube to prevent it from turning as you onscrew the housing.Mike Lehman ~~~_/)_/)~~_/)~~~> Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2008 15:52:49 -0500> From: mainstay at csolve.net> To: public-list at lists.alberg30.org> Subject: Re: [Public-List] Cutlas bearing help please> > So the part of the casting that goes in the stern is screwed onto the stern> tube?
