Drive spring carrier removal
Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2019 1:25 pm
Looking for a bit of advice on removing the drive spring carrier on a 170 (I believe same gearbox as EFNR).
I’ve tried gentle prying/tapping but I don’t want to bend/damage the prop shaft, as I’m only able to pry from one side at a time. Gave it decent amount of heat.
Pulling it off with brute force will put strain on the rest of the pins e.g. clutch dog on opposite end, but from what I can tell the drive spring carrier has to come off first.
Any thoughts welcome, thanks!
