  thanks for the advice i had a look in the manual and it says things like use a press,hollow tube and as i only got basic tools it put me off a bit but as long as the old bearing comes off easy and new one goes on easy then should not be a problem.

because the bearing is shot lots of play and a new bearing off fleabay about £20 to £30 i just thought it would be easy to change the whole prop as a few scrap yards have a some and a few on fleabay
