Don't get the shaft!
A 32-2 should not require removal of the shaft to replace the bearing. If you have a strut, the bearing may be pressed out using a simple bearing press. You don't need to remove the prop if you use a two piece bearing.....project should take less than an hour.
Good Luck

Innocent Bystander
If you search the archives you'll find a lot about this process.
It is possible to borrow rent or make a bearing press to squeeze the old bearing out of the strut without removing the shaft.
But there are not, as far as I'm aware, two-part marine cutless bearings, so you will have to remove the prop to get the old one off and the new one on, but that is not a big project.

Cutless
Here are a couple of pullers courtesy of Good Old Boat Magazine. The cutless puller also acts as the press for install. I purchased my bearing from the yard where I do my haul-out. I'll give them a call in the AM. If you can't find a two piece bearing just pull the prop....might add 20 minutes to the project.
