Done! Everything went back on easily. Only snag is where I marked where the coupler was on the shaft got erased but it seems it’s a foolproof system since where it stops is basically where it needs...

2 beers and 2 manhattans actually. Hit the spot. Re key way, figured installing with it on the bottom is easiest?

Intend on finishing the job tomorrow. Keep you posted.

That’s exactly what I did and it finally popped off! My initial spacer/socket wasn’t pushing against the shaft and I was just tightening against the coupler. Idiot! But I paid for my mistake and now...

Hi all, happy holidays! Got back to the cottage with the items I was missing. Job was going super well, got the shaft nut out np, inserted a socket as a spacer, and threaded on my new linger bolts...

Nevermind, i can see from the link instrutions that Holdmybeer provided that it looks to be 1 1/16. Sorry for posting for nothing!

Thanks to everybody's advice, i started on this project yesterday. Everything went smoothly so far, but i only did the easy parts. I have removed the set screw but i did not have a socket big enough...

Huh, never heard that but I’m game if it helps cure oldmanitis. ;-)

Great advice. Especially since i was getting impatient just disconnecting hoses this year! ;-) I would love to find a reliable shop somewhere nearby that i could trust but it doesn't seem to exist...

100%! I cramp up easily now as well. I reluarly drink non sweetened electrolytes and always have chewables at the handy. Getting old is so much fun ;-)....

This is exactly it. What a good find. Thank you!

I’m looking for a shop but honestly, given the specifics of my application I’d probably have to do it with them. With everyone’s advice plus this...

It’s good advice. I’ll have to do some searching to see if I can find that. Called the master craft outfit nearby and they flat refused…

This is helpful. So you got longer bolts and put them back into vdrive with spacer in between? Makes sense.

Do you really need to pull on the shaft from the outside? My boat is in garage backed...

Thanks for the detailed response. I read about that tool and am fairly confident it will not fit for my application. Even though I would use the inner holes, the whole tool will not fit.

I read...

OK that is great info, thank you so much. Couple of questions for you:

1) How do you know my shaft is 1-1/8 and not 1-1/4, just by model and year?
2) Does the replacement have to be the same...

No unfortunately, i just assumed it was going to be a packing job and didn't examine everything up close. Kinda dumb. But i was thinking exactly what you suggest. Clean it up and start over the...

ouch! Exactly why i don't want to bring it in. They move so fast in the shop and just want to clear the board....

Was it leaking a lot and do you know from where?

Hi All,

I've had this 2011 outback v for 2 summers now and noticed it was leaking this year (probaly last year as well since the bilge was going off and killing my battery). I just assumed it was...

Could you let us know how much you sold it for? Helps to understand for those of us looking ;-)

Thx Badfoot. A remote or an amp?

The buttons on my aeware remote Tsc-55 are falling apart and i now see that it isn't available to purchase anymore. I'm getting conflicting info on what can replace it easily with the same...

Thanks Viking. Was getting a little stressed about it since this weekend already went down to -15c. Insulated garage but still...

I winterized my 06 outback this weekend thanks to CAB's great post: https://forum.moomba.com/showthread.php?t=6925&referrerid=9912

It went very smoothly. But the only thing i couldn't find was the...
