I like how you didn't install the ground clips on the bellows. This way, the drive will be even more prone to corrosion issues and you'll have repeat customers!
Where can you find the puller tool? part/model number? I'd rather get this than the mercruiser gimbal puller which only works for that particular bearing - I could use this tool for other applications.

I was screaming "why are you beating the bearing in using the inside race"? All that'll do is pit the hell out of the races and it'll be no time before it fails. Throw that bearing away and do it correctly this time! This guy is teaching people how to do it wrong so your customer keeps coming back!
That driver is NOT the proper way to drive a bearing, you should ALWAYS press on the outer race, never drive metal on metal driving through the bearing. every time you hit that you are damaging the bearing.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It really helps me on alot of the need to know on the bravo drive.
Thanks for your feedback!
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video very helpful Thank you
What is the name or part number of that two halves piece he is outting inside the Gimbal housing?

Is there much difference between the bravo 3 and bravo 2?

So what did you do to remove the gear lube hose from inside of the transom/bell housing?
Many manuals now instruct to put that bearing backwards, two notches facing you when installed...

Anyone know the part numbers for the tools?
what about the gimbal seal?
Are you referring to what MerCruiser calls the “Oil Seal” that sits in front of the gimbal bearing? If so, it was inspected and didn’t need replacing.
How about the gimbal bearing that was hammered in by its' inner race?
noticed that also...

Always install a bearing by ramming the OUTSIDE of the bearing! Never on the inside like you just did there. Throw away that tool. Major fuxcup!
Lmao i was thinking that same thing wtf is he doing
