driven gear bearings alpha one

[affa]

Hi<br />I need to replace my driven gear bearings, in my manual I can see its done with the two halfes separated, I was wondering if its possible to do thisd without separating the two halfes?<br />Regards<br />Affa

That Bearing Also supports the top of the Input Shaft of the Lower Unit.......<br />It would be Impossible to remove with the Shaft in place........<br />Do it Right....<br />It'll only cost you a few minutes,+ 1 O-ring...............<br /><br />I Guess you Found your Noise........<br /><br />With all those metal shavings + such,<br />Now might be a good time for a Full Tear-down,+ Inspection,+ Reseal........

Thanks Bondo<br />Yes I found the source for the noise, I havent get it apart yet.<br />I was thinking off rebuilding the upper half, do you think thats good enough?<br />Is there anything I can flush the drive with in case there are any metal shavings hanging in the oil somewhere?<br />Regards<br />Affa
