Gerry,
The shaft will not clear the rudder. I drop the rudder to replace the cutless bearing. The process takes me about half an hour to remove the rudder. I’ve done it three times over the years. I use anti-seize on the quadrant bolts. It makes a huge difference. I dd it again this spring. When I was launching, the yard mentioned that they have the special tool to replace the bearing with the shaft in place. NOW THEY TELL ME!!!! The special tool does work, if you can find one to borrow. It will save you time.

Any info would be helpful. Does the rudder have to be removed or will the shaft slide by it? Is there a special tool for removing it without removing the shaft?
