Title: 455 motor removal help
Post by: jakesjet on April 18, 2012, 05:58:05 AM

just got passed down a jetboat and since motor needs rebuild, i need to pull.  Do I need to remove the bell housing  to disconnect the shaft from pump.  There is a small access panel on top of bell housing so dont know if i go thru it to disconnect or will housing come out after removing bolts and saddle bolts.  Thanks for any help you could give me.  jake

Sounds like a 3-point mount, remove "saddle" u-bolts, front plate mounts, and pump is splined to the driveline (slip)

pics would tell the story...
