cutlass bearing embeded in keel

The CC36, (probably the standard C36, and I would guess the C40 and several others0 has no strut. the cutlass bearing is embedded in the aft edge of the keel. How many set screws hold it in? on both sides? Is it held in with anything else besides set screws? Reggie

HI Reggie, The Cal 46 also has an embedded cutless bearing. It has one set screw on each side. Getting the old out is a PITA. I finally bought a blind puller with a slide hammer. Before that I would use a metal cutting blade in a sawzall and carefully cut two or more grooves in the bearing. The blind puller works much better.
