Cutless Bearing Removal Tool

[Duke]

Does anyone have a cutless bearing removal tool, for a 1 3/8" shaft, that they would be interested in renting for a day or two. Manual, hydraulic, homemade, whatever. I would drive 100 miles or so from Portsmouth to pick it up.
Thanks,
Duke

Is the bearing in a removable housing?I use a long metal cutting sawzall and cut a slot in it length wise,and it should tap out with a hammer ond block of hard wood.

Last I knew Accu Tech Marine rented out their tool. They are located in Dover. Here is their link. AccuTech Marine Propeller, Inc. - Prop Scan and Hale MRI Technology: Home

Is it in a shaft tube or in a bronze housing?. If its in bronze at the stern post unbolt it and take it to a machine shop and have it pressed out. same as installing a new one.

Strut

Thanks. It is in a strut. I am trying to avoid removing the shaft or the strut. Especially the strut so I don't have to get into the alignment stuff.

could just use a pipe and hammer. not the best way but it will work as a last option. just need to make sure the pipe does not hit the strut
