Hi everyone, a while back I posted about my 92 supra comp taking in more water than it should. I got some great advice and a lot of people said I should probably start with the propeller shaft. I've got my boat back from storage and this weekend I opened everything up to get a closer look (see attachment). Before I go too much further now, what is the proper way to pull this all apart? Looks like the first step will probably be to back off the smaller nut to loosen the housing. I'm thinking I'll have to cut that hose off and get a new piece when i put it back together. Then does the shaft just slide right out? I'm assuming there is some sort of packing material or seal on the water facing side. Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to mess it up. Thanks in advance!
