John - The shaft does not need to come out to replace the cutlass bearing.  The Association's loaner tool makes short work of getting the bearing pushed out then the new one pushed back in.  Only the prop needs to come off and the tool bag has the tool for that also!

   I'm taking the shaft out soes I can get at the cutlass bearing! I guess
   the rudder will need to come off if its that tight.

   Thanks

     John,
     It did on my hull #582, which was also a '99. The trick is to remove
     the cutless bearing and turn the rudder about 10 degrees as the
     leading edge is a bit thicker.
