Have a 2023 FishPro Sport 100 hrs. Was looking at doing a carbon seal replacement, but floating ring ( aka hat) is frozen to shaft. If the bellows is cut/sliced and the carbon seal is broken away, can the shaft with the attached frozen hat be pulled thru the hull after the jet pump is removed. See Image. [EDIT] I suspect that the OD of the hat is larger than the ID of the plastic fitting that the bellows attaches to. Correct???
If so, I have access to machine shop where I can press the hat off the shaft to free it, and save myself from having to cutting the hat off, ( been there done that) and possibly damaging the shaft during the cutting - Also, sounds like it will be a lot easier to do without having to stand on my head to cut the hat from the shaft.
