Customer Reviews for Alpha Bravo OMC Volvo Gimbal Bearing Installer Puller Align Tool Mercruiser

Great tool and make removal and installation of Gimball Bearing so much easier. Only point to mention is the tool is universal, so you need to measure the placement of the black cup to seat the bearing back in on the silver rod. this rod is solid steel and you have to drill straight through otherwise the pin may not line up or the cup could have a slight angle to it. Luckily my friend had a drill press and I was able to get the right distance by dry fitting the rod and seeing where the grease line ended up. Went a little short of that line to ensure the new Gimball was fully seated.

The puller worked flawlessly on pulling my gimbal bearing out of my OMC cobra. The alignment shaft worked well also but the drilling of the hole was a bit of a pain. I get why you have to drill your own hole because of it being a universal tool and is made for use on different systems. I used “O” rings on mine to assist me in locating the spot to drill my hole. I just put them on the shaft and pushed it into the coupler and the o rings slid up and gave me the location for the hole to be drilled. The alignment tool was a little big in diameter for my bearing so I took of .02 in my lathe. Overall a good purchase for the price.

The perfect tool for the job. I've had to replace my Gimbal bearing before and the last tool I had was not correct , I realized it when I got this one. it was smooth sailing and job done

Beat money to spend for gimbal
