Ok, so I got the c-clip off the drive shaft. Done. Pulled on the shaft and it's supposed to come straight out correct? The c-clip is all that holds it in place. It was hanging up on something, so I look back in the hull and the silver sleeve the end of the shaft goes into on the motor end is trying to come out with the shaft. I'm afraid it pulled loose from the PTO/seal. What could I have messed up with this? Pull the c-clip, pull the drive shaft. Supposed to be simple from everything I've read.
Anyone else encounter this or know what I'm talking about? Ideas please? Can I cut the carbon ring and pull the PTO boot and pull the drive shaft through with that piece still on it? Can it damage the PTO? I stopped to find out before I move forward.
Thanks guys!
