Thanks for the reply,
The straighten option is a great idea, bit there is a very apparent bearing noise at the back of the carrier, so that option is out, wish it could have been that easy.
Apparently the crew ran this engine for quite some time with bent shaft, hence the bearing noise, but...
Thanks for the reply, I've used big wrenches with cheater bars, and yes I've got the service manual, but they don't provide how to's for crusty sea water engines. Corrosion is the enemy here for sure, it's a battle, I may just have to try a different strategy.

Thanks for the reply, your brute force and ignorance thought is about where I am going to have to go. This carrier may have to come out in pieces in order to save the leg.
The 2 bolts are threaded into the lower unit. The puller has clearance and puts outward pressure on the prop shaft, the carrier will slide on the bolt shafts. Can't see in the photo but I've an inch clearance between the carrier and puller. Theory of the puller can be seen here.
But no...
Hello all,
Still having issues getting this bearing carrier pulled on a DF150.
I've got a good puller setup, and it's applying a lot of pressure to the prop shaft, the only issue I'm finding is that as soon as a apply outward pressure on the prop shaft, the drive shaft (engine to gearcase)...
That would be ideal, but there are no shops here. I'm in The Philippines on an Island so it's kind of all on me to get this out. Appreciate your replies, thanks so much.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and also in advance for any advice or suggestions.
I've a DF150 with a bent prop shaft that I am trying to remove. Gear selector has been removed, the 2 bolts that hold the bearing carrier are off, but I cannot get this unit out. I've tried the slide...
