The guys at North West Propshaft did a wonderful quick job fixing the centre bearing. And talking me through control of the axial movement.

The stern tube bearing has two little grub screws on it that are supposed to be attached to the prop shaft, but these seem to have come loose.

Once these were done up the prop shaft was re-attached at the splined end

The universal joint reattached

And the new bearing fixed down

All in all. Jobs a good one 🙂
