Are these complete with the tolerence ring?

I'm also looking for a bellows kit with the shift cable bellows and necessary hardware. Do I have to order everything individually or whats the kit part number?


Thanks!!

Yes, complete with ring.

Do you want just the shift cable bellows? PN is 74639A2 comes with the clamps

Or the entire repair kit? Exhaust, u joint & shift bellows along with water hose & gimbal bearing PN 803100T1

If you want to order the bearing directly use our site and order with the standard PN 862540A3 - just put a note on the order to send the Ebay bearing and we will adjust the price.

Correct me if I am wrong. Does not the Merc Bravo service manual state that the gimbal bearing would be damaged if removed, so new replacement is necessary?
The service kit number given to Elite is for early (1998) Bravo one drives too?

Rotax,
Yes, the bearing MAY be damaged if removed incorrectly. The only way to pull the bearing is to grab it by the inside race which is not a great idea as the force is transmitted through the balls to the outer race. This can imprint the races. However from a practical standpoint this is only a possible issue if using a slide hammer, and even then you really have to whale on it to cause a problem. It is not an issue if you use a threaded rod & plate to pull nice and even.

Same thing to install, do not beat on the inner race, use a driver that pushes on the outer race.

Yes - same kit for all the Bravo's


Boomer - I'm not sure if we have any left, I'll take a look in the AM.
