They would probably let me use the driveshaft socket in the parking lot if I asked. I didn't have to replace any of the bearings. Ken G said:. Thanks to all for the advice. The motor is for a 16' Sylvan I bought that is solid, but somewhat neglected and motor missing. Price was right. I thought the whole thing would be a great winter project for me and my teenage son to tackle in the off season. Probably will be hearing more from me. Really appreciate the friendly atmosphere and knowledge found here.

They also rent out some of the special tools needed for repairing the beasts. I agree with everything said. I would have used the shaft holding tool too if I had one, but I was able to manage since my pinon nut only calls for ft lbs. With caution and common sense you can get the torque to what you need.

I did this by setting my pipe wrench to required torque and applying pressure to stationary bolt, then replicating this with my pipe wrench. I can see this being difficult if it were more torque. You might want to look at harbor freight. Perhaps one of the mechanics here know what the size of the shaft is on your particular gearcase.

One of the SAE sizes might work for you. Marking the shift rod with tape is a good idea just in case you lose count. Good luck with your case. A calibrated pipe wrench A torque pipe wrench, you guys don't have one? I then did the pipe wrench and replicated the torque on the drive shaft to tighten down the pinon nut. I know it isn't perfect but I'm sure I got it close. Jeff, I misread your post earlier this morning.

For some reason I thought you had said marking the rod with masking tape. I don't think there's anything wrong with using a measuring tape. Nor do I see anything wrong with the screwing in and counting out method. I'm sure the mechanic I borrowed the snap ring pliers from wouldn't have guided me in the wrong direction if there was something so terribly wrong with the count method. I suppose this will only work if the gearcase was in the correct position to start though.

Sorry for any confusion, only trying to help another in need. I admire guys that have the initiative to go out an do a challenging job, I really do. The only reason I post here is I believe in giving back and this is one of the ways I can.

Pass it on. When it come to repairs on outboards I have made my own tools in the past, some quite crude some better than OEM. Where I can I'll tell you where you can get by without special tools. You have to keep somethings in mind, you aren't walking home when the boat breaks down. Usually it will be on a cold Tuesday afternoon, the tide is against you and there is a large thunderstorm looming, not another boat in sight.

Follow the service manual and torque your fasteners properly. Use the right, specified parts and materials. Use the correct tools! Finally don't skip steps. If you are doing a gearcase, shimming, shift rod height and torque are extremely important. Some will cause catastrophic failure, others will drastically reduce the life of the assembly.
