  • Removing drive shaft

    Please see prevoiuos post regarding removal of lower unit for entertainment value!

    1989 40 3 cycle 2 stroke Yamaha.
    I've removed the prop assembly and need to remove the pinion nut to remove the drive shaft to replace the bearing (rusted) and seals.
    I don't have a spline-type socket to turn the shaft while holding the pinion nut.
    I don't think it wise to turn the shaft with a vise-grip, pipe wrench etc. Any suggestions. The Manual calls for part No. YB-6079 which looks to be a spline-type socket.
    Thanks, Mark
