[QUOTE="reelfunnm, post: 464874, member: 21741"] Thanks guys for all the advice. I did get the nut off. I used an extended 1/4 in colbat drill bit. With slow go method I drilled a hole in opposite sides of the nut. Then a with very long screw driver and hammer, gave it a good whack. The nut broke off and the shaft came out. I agree these thing are bullet proof. I had just replaced the cables and let my son use the boat. He said there was some grinding when he shifted into reverse but nothing major. I made some adjustment the next weekend but I could here some rattling noise from the gear case. I'm thinking is his downplay of the grinding may have led to the problem. I have a new/used one on order but may end up rebuilding this one when time and money allow. Again thanks. John [/QUOTE]
