- Here's how you remove an outboard bearing carrier without needing special tools. It's possible to rig up your own bearing carrier puller for cheap. This is an Evinrude V6 gear case, but the process is nearly identical for any outboard. REPLACEMENT LOWER UNIT SEAL KIT LINKS BELOW!! READ MORE:

Sometimes you have to put some heat on the lower unit in addition to PB Blaster. Remember that acetylene is too hot! A decent propane torch is more than adequate. The lower unit is made out of aluminum. You don't want to melt your gear casing!
Remember, once you put a lot of heat to your gearcase it WILL damage the rubber seals. So, if you start the job, you need to finish it.
Hey, Links to boat parts in description (Amazon Affiliate)
Good idea, my puller is way to small for my 125hp mercury lower unit and iv almost scrapped the lower unit due to the 100s of failed attempts.. almost took my head off on multiple occasions by using my big engine hoist and strapping the lowerunit down, putting chains on my puller and boom the puller slips out and catapults 100mph skimming my head lol... your idea is way better and safer than mine. I'll be trying this tomorrow! I might just get my lower unit apart now. Thanks.
great idea Matt, I thought of this too but tried ratcheting straps instead, didn't work, not enough torque I guess. I got some chain so going to try this method, great video!
I'm so mad at myself for not thinking of this ... I have all the tools for doing this on standard gearcase and have been doing this trade for many years. I don't know if there is a puller for a TRP (I have never seen one ) but sometimes it takes a second set of eyes for widening the blinders. Thank you for the idea!
Great idea and it worked on my 150hp
I have two motors and used this idea on both. The first one was tough but after some heat, it broke free. The second one was a counter rotation lower and this method destroyed the whole carrier. I ended up buying a whole new lower for that motor. I did finally get that broken carrier out after cutting a hole in the side of the case. At least I have lot's of good spare parts now as all the gears, bearings and shafts were in nice shape.
The bearing carriers can be a HUGE pain to get out. You can read stories on forums where guys say to heat the lower unit with an Acetylene torch until the Aluminum almost melts lol.
Great idea Matt it never crossed my mind to use a chain with the shackle ends. Glad I come across your vid Sir Thanks man!
Thanks man. Yea, it works great unless the bearing carrier is extremely stuck.
Great idea on this. I will will get this setup tomorrow. Thanks for the video.
Welcome
Watched your video tried all the solutions and nothing worked kept digging and found an old mechanic who said put two pieces of 3/8 flat stock between the prop and the housing tighten the prop nut it will pull right out. Worked like a charm... you might need to use some thicker stock and washers under prop nut to completely remove it.
Wow! Great tip! I never thought of doing this.
sorry but how does that get the carrier out
@@muzzlazu5453 it pulls the whole shaft out with the carrier bearing you put the flat stock on each side of the housing make sure it is clear of the carrier and tighten the nut
@@normancopeland8506 I think I understand what you're saying, but if you could be as specific as possible I would really appreciate it... I'm about to tackle this project and your leverage method sounds like the best one, but I dont want to scratch the shaft or crack the housing... any more info appreciated.
@@chrisnelson1714 Scratching the shaft will not be a problem just slide your flat metal pieces between the prop and the housing put a couple of washers under the prop nut on the shaft and tighten the prop nut the shaft and bearing housing will start to come out you might need to add a some thicker flat stock or add washers as you pull. You can pad the flat stock with a red rag or something like that to cushion the housing ...and make sure the flat stock will not hit the carrier bearing as it come out ..you are basically using the prop as a puller..go slow if you feel like it is binding stop check the positioning of your flat stock. it actually should come out fairly easily.Happy Boating
Great Idea, thanks
i am have the same problem....All hardware has been purchased, will try this out in the morning
I will post here my results, good idea here, hope it works for me.
Let us know how it goes...
@@MattsShop
Setup was good but found out that this lower I had is an old SEI aka china junk..
I thought I was going to broke the jack bolt... Im think someone welded that in.. (not literally)
Wouldn't come out, so I got the cutoff wheel out,,,,lower was junk anyway..
That's too bad. Lower units are not CHEAP! Sounds like someone botched it before you. That's always fun...
Does the lower unit need to be off in order to remove the carrier?
No!
@@MattsShop thanks!
great idea!!!! thanks!!!
Matt. I'm trying to do a 04 years 40 hp big foot. Will it be the same? Please help my first time and i don't have money to go to the shop. I want to do it myself. Please help.
Yes, it should be pretty close.
@@MattsShop Thank you. Will give it a try.
@@saelee33 Did you have any luck? where'd you get your replacement bearing stuff?
made this shit, worked great, thanks for the vid you BAMF
NICE! Some guys were saying it wasn't strong enough. Glad it worked.
Not all heroes wear capes
Thanks
didnt see the result.wasted
I have other videos on this...
Hi I just uploaded a video showing my success ...now the problem I have is I can't remove the prop untill I remove the shaft ...so I am working out how I'm gonna do this 😊👍...check out the vid 👀👍
I'm having an absolute shit fight with my bearing carrier💦💦😱😱
What problem are you having? Have you tried PB blaster, heat, and letting it soak overnight?
versatec1 Heat is the enemy of corrosion
+Kreig Dernier Yes! The expansion helps break it loose too.
same here with my 25hp 1990 yamaha. stuck as hard as it can. Over night soak didnt help. Tomorrow i need to get some gas torch to heat it up. Heat gun didnt help anything.
Normally they heat the lowerunits with an Acetylene torch while it is loaded up with the puller on it. You have to put enough heat to it for the metal to expand. It's like a giant heat sync.
I don't understand what people got to talk too much making a video can't get to the point
You know where the fast forward button is.
Some people like them to explain there mechanisms (not factory made so best to know his way to operate it)
Yea, If you understand how something works you can figure out how to fix it.

Love you.
