56-042 Rudder bearing

As said (many times) before the rudder should be dropped every two or three years, bearings serviced and seals replaced... when not doing such the bearing will finally get corroded and seized around the rudder stock sleeve and will need replacement... :-( 

Complete bearing seized on rudder stock

GRP casing

Our tool to remove bearing from sleeve... which should not be needed
when properly maintained the bearing body should be remaining in the boat GRP casing
and rudder slide into it.

Corroded bearing needs replacement
