This task requires a purpose-made tool to grip and turn the large retainer nut without damaging the carrier or the surrounding gear case components, and the 18-9809 is sized and shaped specifically for that job. It is the direct equivalent of the Mercury Marine 91-17257 tool, giving technicians and boat owners a way to service Bravo Two drives without sourcing OEM tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandling a bearing carrier retainer without the correct tool risks stripping the retainer or marring the gear case finish, so a dedicated tool like this one is standard equipment for anyone performing drive maintenance or rebuilds on applicable units. At 7.08 pounds, it has the heft expected of a solid metal service tool designed for repeated shop use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-9809\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bearing Carrier Retainer Tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Loosens and tightens the bearing carrier retainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Drives:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bravo Two drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Marine 91-17257\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBravo Two drives\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 91-17257\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-9809 tool do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It loosens and tightens the bearing carrier retainer on Bravo Two drives, giving a secure grip on the retainer so it can be removed or reinstalled without damaging the carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich drives does the 18-9809 bearing carrier retainer tool fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This tool is designed for use on Bravo Two drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-9809 the same as the Mercury Marine 91-17257 tool?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-9809 replaces Mercury Marine part number 91-17257 and performs the same bearing carrier retainer function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the bearing carrier retainer tool weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-9809 weighs 7.08 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pieces come with the 18-9809?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-9809 bearing carrier retainer tool is supplied as a single item.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a special tool to service the bearing carrier on a Bravo Two drive?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a dedicated tool such as the Sierra 18-9809 is needed to properly loosen and tighten the bearing carrier retainer on Bravo Two drives without damaging the carrier or gear case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this tool be used on drives other than Bravo Two?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-9809 is specified for use on Bravo Two drives; no other drive compatibility is listed for this part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-9809 a genuine Sierra part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number 18-9809 is a Sierra brand bearing carrier retainer tool built as an equivalent to the OEM Mercury Marine 91-17257 tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 18-9809?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ordering the Sierra 18-9809 includes one bearing carrier retainer tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need to remove the bearing carrier retainer on a Bravo Two drive?\u003c\/strong\u003e Removing and reinstalling the bearing carrier retainer is a step in servicing the bearing carrier on Bravo Two drives, and the Sierra 18-9809 tool is made for loosening and tightening that retainer during the job.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988437512411,"sku":"SIE-18-9809","price":227.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-9809_lg__69110.1558133563.500.750.jpg?v=1785188892","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-9809-bearing-carrier-retainer-tool-for-mercruiser-bravo-two-drives-replaces-mercury-91-17257","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
