Im ready to pull my 500hps out for repower, question is what is best way to pull the motor from the bell. pull bell bolts out of block or pull the 2 boig bolts going down through bell and pull bell with motor.

Thanks

I always remove the bell with the motor, it's hard to get to the bolts in the splash sheild, and the sheild is in front of the flywheel.

Absolutely pull the bellhousing with the engine. Just pull the 2 rear motor mount bolts.

Remove the drives first tho!!!!!

Yea done that

pull the 2 rear mount bolts and hoist her on out ,way easier to pull the bellhousing out of the boat.good luck

Lebanon PA. The wife is from Williamsport. We will be doing thanksgiving in Muncy Thursday. Are you near there?

You don't have to if you have the forward clearance but you probably should, especially if it's your first time!
