Capt. Pete, are you saying the "cheat" allows you to leave the bearing carrier in place? I'm trying to figure this out on my 9.9 evinrude. If I take it to the shop I'm looking at likely $200 + whereas if I DIY probably about $20 - $25 for the seals.
yes the carrier stays in place. I don't know if there will be enough room on the seals on a 9.9 to run screws into. I can't stress enough, you need to be very careful not to scratch the propshaft with the screw or drill. I have had great success doing it this way. It saves a lot of time and money.
