New Lower Unit Bearing Compatible With Carrier Puller Mercury Verado L6 350 400 400R Hp Supercharged

MERCURY VERADO LOWER UNIT BEARING CARRIER PULLER — Verado-Specific Marine Specialty Tool:

HOW THIS TOOL WORKS:
• Pulls Mercury Verado Lower Unit Bearing Carrier Straight Out of Gearcase
• ACME Threads Provide Maximum Pulling Power
• No Catching, No Binding, No Damage to Verado Aluminum Gearcase
• Self-Centers for True Straight Pull on Verado Bearing Carrier
• Designed Specifically for Verado Gearcase Architecture

WHY VERADO REQUIRES A SPECIAL TOOL:
• Mercury Verado Uses Different Gearcase Architecture vs 2-Stroke V6 Outboards
• Heavier-Duty Verado Gearcase Rated for Higher HP / Supercharged Torque
• Different Bearing Carrier Mounting Design
• Different Prop Shaft Geometry
• Different Retainer / Sealing System
• Higher Precision Tolerances for High-Performance Outboard Duty
• Universal V6 2-Stroke Pullers (Like 983-225) DO NOT Fit Verado
