My buddies kid knocked my old drive over and the 2 "teeth" I have outlined in yellow broke off. Is this part replaceable and if so what is it called? I looked on Bam's site but couldn't locate it....

uh - I don't mean to be ...... but that corrosion on the u joint says to me you have bigger problems. Don't even think about installing that drive without checking the gimbal bearing & u joints.

I have already cleaned all the outside parts and I am going to open the drive and check it out this week. The gimbal bearings were only 2 months old when Katrina hit and they only had about 6 hours on them. They should be good. Thanks Mbam.....

That is called a pinion bearing retainer nut.. Merc calls it a Ring Nut.. Here is what you should replace it with.. I sent you a pm on it.. Chuck.

That looks like the original style that was used on late 60's Merc. drives to about 1971 or so. I guess the bean counters wanted to save money and discontinued making them out of brass.
