Volvo penta 120 saildrive bearing change

[Alanarkison]

I've been handed a shaft from a volvo penta 120 saildrive. A friend removed it from his boat to change the bearings but didn't have a press to put them back on. He unfortunately didn't check the position of the bearings before he removed them. From the manual its easy to see that the bearing at horizontal gear drive end just gets pressed on till it meets the stop on the shaft but it doesn't show you how far the propellor drive side bearing gets pressed on to. Does it get driven right up flush to the back end of the drive gear?

It must go up tight against the gear

Thanks very much for your reply. Just to clarify the bearing at the top of the picture must flush up to the back of the drive gear?
I had checked the manual but it was ambiguous and the picture shows a gap between the bearing and the gear.

Yes . There is no alternative. If they were to be spaced apart there would have to be a spacer between them and the bearing pressed on until it was in contact with the spacer and the spacer in contact with the gear.

The picture in the manual only illustrates the use of the mandrel . If you look at illustration 25 ( Installing the front bearing with the same tool) on the previous page you will see that is pictured only part way on as well.

Thanks very much for your help Vics. I'll get it pressed on today ?

Are the bearings easily removed?

Yes........If you have a knife bearing extractor and a press.
I recommend you locate and download the manual ( sorry I dont have a link... I already have it downloaded)

Here is a copy of the VP120 manual. Its the VP130 that I have, but I seem to have the SD120 manual in my folder also.
It will not upload, too large. It is 3.8MB, if you PM me your email address I shall email it to you.
Best regards
