I am removing the ujoints on my bravo one outdrvie and I wanted to know what the easiest tool out there was to work with. I found a kit at at harbor freight called 3-in-1 Ball Joint/U-Joint/C-Frame Press Service Kit and wanted to know if anyone has used this and what their thoughts on it are? Here is the linke below to the site so you can see exactly which one im talking about

That will work. I've used it before on an alpha. You may have to shave off a little bit on the lock ring to get the adapter over the u-joint cap, but its not a big deal.

Hammer and if that doesnt work, use a bigger hammer! Seems to work every time...

you might want to consider taking it to a shop with a press . I wouldn't think it would cost much more than the tool to get this done. frustration factor is worth a lot around my crib.

i remove the shaft assembly from the lower unit and press them out then press to put them back in.

EASY WAKE

I use the hammer and punch method myself, but if you dont know how to do that method properly, I suggest taking it to a shop and having it pressed out! I agree with the frustration level!

I've used the hammer method with a brass drift.But its best to see a pro do it first,then its easy after that.
