[PSUBS-MAILIST] K350 rear thruster disassemble

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,The picture is not clear where the end cap meets the cylinder, but, it looks like there are pipe wrench marks on the output shaft housing.  That would mean the end cap threads off.  I would make a wrench that grabs the three prop guard mounts.  A little heat works a charm and more heat works even better, but make sure the seal is out first to let it breathe.Hank

Mine were "stock".  Harold had modified his to make it easier to take them apart.  It takes patience and persuasion.  I documented my approach at SUBDB.INFO   Follow the link below.  I'm going to be away for most of the weekend but can answer questions monday.

  Alec mentioned there's a tale of trial, tribulation and tears about it somewhere here on psubs. Can someone point me to it before I hit the housing with a cutting torch? Or if you are/were the main character in that hero's journey, help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope.  :-)

It flooded and I need to take it apart.
