Johnson Outboard Lower Unit Crack Repair/Rebuild #8

Video #8 is on the installation of the reverse gear, snap rings and propeller shaft bearing carrier. What you will see being completed in this series of videos will be questionable to many. This is the second lower unit I have repaired in this same fashion, and both went on for many more years of service and saved the owners in the $1000.00 range. If you attempt this I cannot stress enough do not force anything, take your time. Please check video #1 for more of a description.
