CAUTION
Propeller shaft, cam follower and shift cam, in most cases, will come out of gear
housing by simply pulling outward on propeller shaft. DO NOT FORCE shaft side-
ways or ATTEMPT TO PULL with a slide hammer or any mechanical puller.
8. Remove propeller shaft, cam follower and shift cam by pulling shaft straight out of gear
housing. (DO NOT JERK propeller shaft.)
NOTE: Sliding clutch, forward gear assembly, bearing adaptor, thrust washer and thrust
bearings will be removed from gearcase with propeller shaft.

9. If propeller shaft will not come out, proceed with Step “a” or “b,” following:
a. Push propeller shaft back into place against the reverse gear. Visually inspect lo-
cation of shift cam by looking down shift shaft hole (illuminated with a flashlight).
If splined hole in shift cam is visible, reinstall shift shaft and rotate shift shaft to neu-
tral position. Remove shift shaft, then remove propeller shaft as instructed in Step
8, immediately preceding.
b.
Push propeller shaft back into place against reverse gear. Slide bearing
carrier back into gear housing (to support propeller shaft). Place gear hous-
ing on its left side (viewed from rear) and strike upper leading end of gear
housing with a rubber mallet. This will dislodge the shift cam from cam fol-
lower into a clearance pocket in left side of gear housing. Remove bearing
carrier and pull propeller shaft out of gear housing.
NOTE: If Step 9-b was used to remove propeller shaft, the shift cam can be retrieved after
removal of reverse gear.
