I need to swap out my cutless bearing on my '79 Hunter 30. I've gotten as far as I can get without one of these things. The set screws are out. I've got a pipe that is the right ID/OD and I've given it some penetrating oil and some love taps, but it doesn't seem to want to move.
I'm not inclined to remove the skeg and rudder and shaft, and was hoping maybe I could rent someone's strut pro rather than fork over $400 bones for something I'll only ever use once, or the coincidental $400 estimate for having the yard do the work. I've got a 1 inch shaft, but I'm happy to buy the appropriate adapter if yours doesn't match up. I'll even send the adapter back with it.
I figure it'd be a good way to justify the cost of that original purchase! Let me know, I'd be much obliged. I'm located in Ohio, but I'm happy to pay to ship and ship back.
