This is what I did when I installed a dripless seal on my LSV. Worked like a charm and only had to buy 4 bolts and nuts. Very tight working space but just take your time. https://forum.moomba.com/showthread....+dripless+seal

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 about someone using this though: 3" 4" 6" 3-Jaw Gear Puller Set, Reversible 3-Jaw Gear Removal Tool for Slide Gears, Pulleys, Bearings and Flywheels https://a.co/d/6pidWdO
But not even sure I will have the space to fit that horizontally…
I called the local dealer just to see what they would charge but no one is calling me back. Not the first time either, all they want to do is sell and maintain new boats…too bad because I am willing to pay at this point.
I just know what kind of job it is and not sure if I’m up for it. I’m not getting any younger or more flexible

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 right up to wall so not really an option, plus prop is off for maintenance so nothing to grab….

I would suggest finding an independent or a competing wakeboat dealer to work on it. based on the age of the boat it doesn't matter if you use the dealer and any competent mechanic can replace the parts. it's not a skiers choice-exclusive thing.
I used Gerry's Marine here in henderson and recommend them more any any of the wakeboat dealers. cheaper cost, quicker service and nicer people that seem thankful for the business.

Try this for a how to?.
It appears to be exactly what you are dealing with. However, not having room to pull the shaft out is going to hinder you.

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 link, I at least can visualize everything I need to do. The rest is that determination, patience, and imagination these jobs require. And when the time comes to pull/push the shaft, I can open my garage door and pull the boat forward by hand.
I have all winter at least…and a teenage son who can help and learn not to bail when it seems impossible
Thanks again for the link.

That is a very detailed how to with some great pictures! The set screw was an unexpected thing when I did mine. You will need to install your prop before trying to remove the nut from the shaft. I blocked mine with a piece of wood but needed an extra pair of hands to hold the prop and wood in place while I was in the boat removing the nut. You don't need to pull the shaft out, just slide it back enough to clear the seal but be careful as it will slide out all on its own! Take your time and don't rush. It's not a difficult job but it is stressful working in such tight quarters with very limited space to maneuver so just step out of the boat if you get frustrated.

If your like me, I cramp up more now than I used too when trying to "contort" my body, arms and hands into tight hard to reach spaces. Drink you some pickle juice, eat some mustard, or take something similar that helps reduce cramps before you jump on that one.
