Coupler removal/installation

[thescott]

I'm going to be replacing my dripless shaft seal this weekend. I've read all the tricks to get the coupler off the prop shaft, but I don't see much about how to get it back on there properly...I'm hoping that's because it's so simple? :roll:

For a 08 22ssv.

Anyone have any input?

Thanks!

If it is a taper fit it just needs to be bolted back up to seat into the taper. If there is also a key, fit it in place before tightening. It should be that easy.

Sweet! I was really hoping for a nice and easy answer. Thanks!

thescott,

Some guys say to heat the coupler up in the oven so that it will expand before putting it back on the shaft. I would only do that if I felt like I was having trouble getting it to seat back onto the shaft. Try just tightning it with the nut first.

Perfect, thanks for the feedback. Got your PM, much appreciated!
