40 H.P.: 1. Place the bridge across the gearcase so the bridge’s hole is in line with the center of the pinion bearings.
2. Place the puller’s thrust bearing on the puller body by slipping it over the threaded end of the body, figure 2.
3. Screw the puller nut on the puller body so the top of the nut is approximately 1/4 inch below the bottom of the slots in the puller body, figure 2. Insert the machined end of the puller body thru the hole in the bridge and seat the body in the pinion bearing, figure 2.
4. Insert one puller jaw (#308093) thru the center of the puller body, and hook the upper notch into the narrow slot at the top of the body. a. Insert remaining jaw 308093 and hook the upper notch in the wide slot of the puller body, figure 3.
5. Insert the mandrel into the puller body, locating the puller jaws in the grooves of the mandrel. Gently push the mandrel until the mandrel’s cross-rod rests on top of the puller jaws, figure 3. WARNING!!! Do not force the mandrel. If any difficulty is encountered in inserting the mandrel, recheck the positions of both the puller body and puller jaws as outlined in steps 3 and 4.
6. Hold the mandrel’s handle (cross-rod) to prevent the puller body from turning; then turn the puller nut clockwise to remove bearings. (See figure 4 for relative positions of bearings on puller after removal.)
