6. Use long Puller Jaws (91-46086A1) and Puller Bolt (91-85716) to remove bearing car-
rier. (Use propeller thrust hub to maintain outward pressure on puller jaws.)
NOTE: When bearing carrier is removed from gear housing, the bearing carrier alignment
key will come out with it.
7. With gear housing in NEUTRAL, pull shift shaft out of gear housing. If necessary, use
a pliers to pull shift shaft out of gear housing. If pliers are used to pull shift shaft out,
wrap a strip of soft metal (aluminum) around splines before clamping pliers. DO NOT
turn shaft (clockwise OR counterclockwise) while pulling shaft out. (For further infor-
mation on shift shaft, see “Shift Shaft Cleaning/lnspection and Disassembly.”)

CAUTION
Propeller shaft, cam follower and shift cam, in most cases, will come out of gear
housing by simply pulling outward on propeller shaft. DO NOT FORCE shaft side-
ways or ATTEMPT TO PULL with a slide hammer or any mechanical puller.
8. Remove propeller shaft, cam follower and shift cam by pulling shaft straight out of gear
housing. (DO NOT JERK propeller shaft.) If propeller shaft will not come out, proceed
with Step “a” or “b”, following:
a. Push propeller shaft back into place against the forward gear. Visually inspect lo-
cation of shift cam by looking down shift shaft hole (illuminated with a flashlight).
If splined hole in shift cam is visible, reinstall shift shaft and rotate shift shaft to neu-
tral position. Remove shift shaft, then remove propeller shaft as instructed in Step
8, immediately preceding.
b. Push propeller shaft back into place against forward gear. Slide bearing carrier
back into gear housing (to support propeller shaft). Place gear housing on its left
side (viewed from rear) and strike upper leading end of gear housing with a rubber
mallet. This will dislodge the shift cam from cam follower into a clearance pocket
in left side of gear housing. Remove bearing carrier and pull propeller shaft out
of gear housing.
