While on the subject of prop shafts, bearings, etc....
What size stuffing should I use to re-pack my stuffing box?
Thanks,

I still have some packing material left over from the last time I did it. It's at the boat. I'll be able to check it this weekend. I don't remember off the top of my head.
The best thing to do would be to pull the current packing out of your packing nut and then buy something just a little bigger. I don't know if the packing nuts were the same on all J 30s.

Thanks for all the tips. Got the job done today.
I used Shunter's trick to get the shaft out of the shaft coupling. I put a 5/8's long socket in between the shaft coupling and transmission hub. Then using some extra long bolts, sandwiched it all together and popped the shaft out.
I used a hacksaw on the cutless bearing. Then used a chisel to break out the cut slice. The rest of it came out easy.

Congrats on pulling your cutless bearing!
By any chance did you find the packing size? I do intend to save what I pull, but I'm not sure how much it compresses down, and having a second opinion is always a good thing.

I forgot to get it for you. I knew I forgot something. I'm going to go back to the boat on Monday night. I'll make sure I get the size for you then.
