Re: Center prop bearing
SAME!
also any chance you have a part number? the part i ordered is not correct larger spacing between the bolt holes, have you also replaced the flex joint? mine looked fine on the front but was defiantly cracking on the gearbox side... seen some horrific results to a failing flex joint!
