Bearing Carrier Retainer Wrench Tool Fits for Mercury Mercruiser Alpha One Bravo One Generation II TRS Outdrives, Alternative to 91-61069, 91-61069T, 18-9858

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great tool. Very well made

Very heavy solid tool. Worked great turned the nut out first try, no mus no fus

Fits my 2021 mercury v6 with 4.8 torpedo lower unit.

Fit my 1995 mercury 225 hp and 2000 optimax 225hp lowers. Great for a novice that won’t use it too often. I have no quality concerns for the once every few years use I would do with it.

Item shipped quickly and worked just as it should.

Working on a Mercruiser Alpha one gen two: I still didn’t get the ring off and ultimately drilled it and broke as described in the factory service manual but I put a 2’ breaker bar plus a 3’ cheater pipe on this socket with the lower wedged between two tires of a loaded trailer and put I’d guess 500lbft of torque on it without anything beyond scratching the paint on the socket.

This was an absolutely must have tool when we had to replace the twisted prop shaft on our Bravo one outdrive. What a pain but this tool made it a little less painful.

Tool quality is great but when it doesn't fit the lower unit gear housing retainer nut as described in product info. posted, it's not worth owning! Please explain why!!
