J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Cutlass Bearing

David - how easy was it to remove the old bearing from the strut? I see a set screw but I've heard you may need a torch to heat up the strut to remove the old bearing. Did you need any special bearing puller tools?

I've got the shaft and Yanmar pulled to rebuild the engine and refurbish the prop this winter. Something to pass the time in my basement while waiting for spring. I've replaced the shaft seal and should probably replace the cutlass bearing while everything is apart.
