2003 210 bent drive shaft

Hey guys

Unfortunately just realized my driveshaft is bent between the prop and the bearing.

I have a pcm 330, looking for any direction to tackle this replacement myself like correct parts, tools needed, etc.

thanks

Would this shaft work? I see it’s a 1/2” off from their $500 recommended one…

Nope. The prop probably wouldn't even mount to the shaft once it is installed because the end of the shaft would be inside (or very close to) the strut. You need this one.

I definitely have around 4” between the prop and strut so I’m thinking it could work.

could I also use a spacer? $150 for a 1/2” seems crazy

for $500 I might as well go with an A.R.E right?
