your port drive had the skagg welded 6 inches up across the entire length. both of your skaggs your band and slightly 1 degree. entire skaggs. I switch the drives so now there bentslightly out. this will work to hold a drives in the water believe it or not because of the direction of the proper rotation. the way you had it was doing the opposite effect. the drive had blue printing done and then they were painted with aluminum paint. now they are all luminum from halfway down the cone. I believe I've increased the performance of the drive to the point were I may have gotten you another mile an hour. I am really happy with the drive setup that I got from you you gave me a really good deal thank you. this is all brought to you voice to text offer my cellphone pretty *****in eh? :)

the key is to have pressure on it while you're trying to move the metal. if it is really bad it might crack. in that case heat maybe what you need to use however I did not use heat. Put pressure on it with a ratchet tie down or a come along or nylon strap or something of that nature. and wallop it a good 1 with a large dead blow hammer and maybe a block a wood if you're really hitting it hard
