[PSUBS-MAILIST] K350 rear thruster disassemble

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

It looks the same as mine.  The rear tank head (propeller end) will twist off counter-clockwise.  You'll have to use a knife to cut through those layers of paint and then try spinning that rear head off.  If you are lucky some gentle persuasion with a lever between the vanes will get it going.  If you are unlucky and that doesn't work, use penetrating oil in the gap between the cylinder and tank head to eat through any gunk that might have accumulated over the years.  I did three or four treatments that way and let each one sit a day.  Use a chain wrench or make one out of chain like I did.  Descriptions of my process are underneath each larger photo.

  Here are links to a couple of pics. Looks like the brass pin gets popped out to remove the spring and nylon washer from around the shaft. It's in there pretty good.

What holds on the rear of the housing is another story.
