Installation Notes

- Access the lower unit of the outboard motor. This may require removing the lower casing.
- Carefully remove the old, worn drive shaft bushing. As this is a press-fit part, a bushing puller or a press may be necessary.
- Thoroughly clean the housing seat to remove any corrosion, salt, or debris.
- Align the new bushing and use a press or appropriate tool to press it evenly into place. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Reassemble all components in the reverse order of disassembly and torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications.
