Ultimate Bravo 3 bearing carrier removal tool
I am in the process of building a spare Bravo 3 from some old parts I have and had a miserable time trying to remove a VERY stuck bearing carrier from a badly corroded lower gear case. The Mercruiser factory tools were unable to budge the thing.
I made my own ridiculously heavy-duty bearing carrier removal tool that I drive with a 1" square drive impact wrench, and it works great. If anyone here is struggling with a Bravo 3 bearing carrier, PM me., I can likely help you out. |
Dave,
I love hearing about all the special tools you've built and acquired! It almost makes me wish I owned Merc equipment! :D |

I used schedule 40 3.5" (4.0" OD x .226" wall thickness) structural steel pipe. Worked great, but was frightening and crazy loud to use... That impact wrench sounds like a 20 mm anti-aircraft gun. |
