    Bell housing bushings

    Any advise on how to get the bell housing bushings out of the later model gen 2? I can find the part numbers for the drivers and the shop manual only says "remove". I'm assuming GLM 87562 is the correct replacement...

    Broken Lube Monitor fitting

    In the process of replacing the bellows I broke the through hull fitting for the drive lube monitor. I see no way of replacing it short of pulling the engine to get the inside of the fitting. I am just going to disable it for now. I was thinking of filling the fitting with epoxy or JB weld...

    Gen 2 Bellows redo. Cracked oil monitor fitting-*PIX*

    Does the shift cable need to be replaced with changing the bellows? I see in the Merc manual that the "shift cable should be replaced as an assembly only". Does this mean that the cable must be put back assembled/whole/new? Or, just not to try to replace individual pieces of the cable...

    5.7 Mercruiser drain locations

    So I found five drain plugs for my 2001 5.7 but the Seloc manual mentions there may be another one in the "water tube" in the carbureted models. I looked all around don't see anything that looks similar. Am I missing something? Also, when I filled the engine with antifreeze, I poured the AF...

    Alpha One Gen 2 Impeller/Driveshaft

    Does anyone know the size of the driveshaft in the AOG2 drive? I plan on replacing the impeller soon and the Seloc manual says to use the Mercruiser tool or "a washer of suitable size" to seat the water pump face seal. I just want to make sure I have the right size on hand to make this go...
