I had asked the fine folks @ BRP if the shaft was removed from one side or the other. IE was there a taper or shoulder. They said no shoulder. This is the first time, out of many, that they were incorrect. I`ll let them know so they can help others.

I picked up a 8 1/2" c clamp from tool town and got her to move again with heat and Kroil.

I was attacking it from Stbd. because of the swim platform. I thought I may have buggered up the port side because of the tough access.

I got her to move again, but she still wouldn`t let go. I was running out of light and gas when I decided to hit it one more time with the air hammer from the port side.

Using a socket in the collar to keep it centered, I cranked it up to 135 psi and went to town. What is this I see? Movement? I leaned harder on my shoulder and my hip.

I am enjoying a very cold beverage. Now to the upper shaft.

I took pics and will start a new thread at the end for the Library Of Slackers.

Cheers,
GFS

BRP was correct. Now that I really look at the shaft it is clear that I expanded it.

Looks like I`ll have to clean out the circlip races as well.

Details.

I hope the cylinders are ok. No leaks but the scrapers are expanding.

Will a hydraulic shop have better scrapers?. BRP asked me how long mine lasted.

Thx,
GFS

Hydraulic shop's should offer better, should be cheaper.
