    If you pump grease into the coupler grease zerk after the outdrive is installed, do you see this causing vacuum as well?

    I can also vouch for the last 3/4 inch being difficult. What has worked for me is shaking the drive in some way, small quick movements...

    You have to be VERY STINGY with the grease on the shaft splines. Otherwise the end of the shaft with lots of grease. Can form a BLOCKED...

    thanks, sounds like you're saying the bearing sits between the 2 small o-rings when fully engaged, which makes sense.

    Thanks, I'll clean up the o-rings and o-ring grooves and apply gear oil only. When the driveshaft is fully seated in the coupler, does...
