Re: cutlass bearing doesn\'t come out

Various remedies - withdraw prop shaft, try to drift out from inside, try a slide hammer hooked on from the outside, cut through lengthwise using a hacksaw blade. Do check for grubscrew or similar (may be glassed over).

Or why not ask Beneteau how they stuck the thing in in the first place?

Work out what stops it from falling out of the stern tube - something must keep it in place. A grub crew is a likely one or does it have to be pushed inwards after removing the propshaft and stern gland?

It is in a stainless stern tube and located by a grub screw. Remove that, but I think you will need an internal puller - after removing the shaft.

Try the Beneteau Owners site for advice.
