Boy could I use one of those... had to cut a prop shaft to get one off.... no worries the shaft was shot though, had been in a fire, but the prop was good..... but still have the shaft section in the prop, was going to have it pressed out some day.
My GPA 5510 has a pillar bearing (roller bearing) instead of the bushing that Raymund has for sale. My bearing has no provisions for grease and probably should be replaced. Any ideas on a suitable replacement?
I didn't make the puller to sell it. There is no price for it. Everybody can have copies of the drawings, so it will be possible to find a machinery to make one for yourself.
I've never seen a roller bearing for the propellor shaft. It will be difficult to fit into the original housing block. I wouldn't recommend a roller bearing because it will rust and wear the propellor shaft. If the housing block is still original, it will be the best to use a brass bushing.
Incidentally, we're peeling the onion of my GPA and, with the exception of the fuel tank, which wasn't original, there have been no unhappy surprises.
We're tackling one component at a time. Decking, front and rear seat are off, beadblasted and recoated to prevent rust formation. The bilge pump has been removed, opened, cleaned, minor repairs to rubber, repacked and put on a shelf for later reinstallation. The metal parts of the bilge system will be bead blasted (inside and out) and similarly recoated and set aside for now.
Very few rust issues; nothing major.
We're going to try to remove the engine, transfer unit, and PTO as a single system, and tackle it that way, following your advice. (We're also going to remove and work on the dash as a single subsystem.) Shifting of the transmission and the transfer unit was nominal, nothing sticking. Capstan moves properly.
Hi ,
Just a quick note to let you all know the prop. pullers are finished.
We have made the main extracta bolt from high tensile steel, and the assemble bolts are high tensile as well.
I must admit they make a very nice item.
