Paging Shibby!

Hey Shib,
A while back you had a post with a list of everything to do when changing out the wear ring from start to finish...I need to know where I can go to find that. I have someone that needs to know and the info you provided had every nut and bolt listed you would have to take off! Thanks
Wayne

Hey Wayne...

Jarret and Jerry made a nice little formal thread about this in the FAQ maintenance section of the forum...

check out this thead, should be pretty helpful?

-remove steering (10mm), reverse (10mm), and OPAS linkages (13mm)
-remove four 13mm bolts that hold venturi to pump
-remove clamp holding hose from venturi to OPAS water splitter in top of hull
- remove four 17mm nuts holding pump to pump support

and pull her off

and dont forget the freezer trick! works like a charm every time on skis with metal pumps... dont leave it in the freezer too long or it will shrink the ring too much and get it stuck on the prop.... 45 minutes usually does it for me and it slides right out.

Yep, and , thanks...I'll pass it on. BTW, did you get your ski back and how's she running?

almost together.... probably finish it up 2nite... just have to slap an air intake on there and put in the whole exhaust and it's water-worthy in a rather stock mildly-modded format.

we'll see what happens, i'll keep u posted.
