SUBJECT: #379246 BEARING RACE PULLER - forward propeller shaft bearing race - 40 h.p. electric shift motor.
sb 922 puller figure 1.jpg
Since the tool designed to remove the front propeller shaft bearing race on 75 h.p. engines cannot be used in the same application on 40 h.p. electric shift engines, it has become necessary to design a new tool for this application.
Illustrated in Figure 1 is a tool that will remove the front propeller shaft bearing race on 40 h.p. electric shift engines.
This new tool is presently available from Outboard Marine Corporation Parts Depot at the following net price. COD orders will not be accepted. Mail all orders with prepayments to:
OUTBOARD MARINE CORPORATION PARTS DEPOT P.O. BOX 470 GALESBURG, ILLINOIS
DO NOT ORDER THIS TOOL FROM JOHNSON MOTORS OR FROM YOUR PARTS DISTRIBUTOR.

USE OF BEARING RACE PULLER #379246
1. Remove nut and plate from threaded shaft.
2. Loosen wing nut - allowing sleeve to be drawn away from puller head. This permits puller jaws to contract for insertion into bearing race.
3. Insert puller head into bearing race. Expand puller jaws by tightening wing nut. Wing nut will stop when jaws are set for pulling.
4. Install pressing plate and nut. Run nut down on threaded shaft with appro- priate size wrench - to extract bearing race (Fig. 2).
