1994 Sea-Doo Bombardier GTX Drive Shaft Adapter

[Philip.camp]

Greetings! I have a 1994 Sea-Doo Bombardier GTX. I am having a hard time finding something that says “this Drive shaft adapter fits a 1994 Sea-Doo Bombardier GTX.” From what I have read, it seems like the OEM 529.035.892 adapter covers a larger swath of machines. Is it safe to assume this fits my machine?

Thanks for the input!

That is for a 4 stroke. Not sure what you are trying to do but that will not work on your 2 stroke. They have different diameter drive shafts.

Thx. Glad I haven’t purchased it yet. Any idea how/where to find a similar adapter for a 2-stroke? I’m working on freeing up the engine on an older GTX.

pto remover....would that help? you can get them at amazon

you can use it to remove the impeller as well if you were to have to service the pump.

So is the engine seized?

I have seen people break those quite often trying to remove the PTO.
A chain wrench and lots of heat typically work the best.

i agree with Mac....i use a big pipe wrench to take off the pto....but i thought philip just wanted to free up the engine which hopefully does not require that much convincing.

Hey, guys. I’m attempting to revive 2 machines. Part of that is using the pto shaft to work it back and forth. I may end up having to remove it in the end. I have the male adapter for the impeller. I can’t find a female adapter for the shaft itself

 

[mikidymac]

There is no reason to have a female shaft adapter, the shaft is splined on the pump and PTO so it just pulls out.
IF the engine is locked up "breaking it free" will not fix anything.

 

[Philip.camp]

Thanks for the response. The rod is splined. I bought an 18mm Spline socket and it didn’t fit. I would like to get a tool/adapter for my machines. My question wasn’t “do I need one”. My question is “Is there a tool? If yes, how do I order it?”

 

[mikidymac]

No they don't, because there is no reason to hold or turn the driveshaft by the splines.
They make one for the yamaha because the impeller is actually threaded onto the shaft so you have to be able to hold the shaft, not on a Seadoo.
They make the male one to remove and install the impeller and torque the PTO to spec.

Thank you guys a lot for the information /education. I’ll work another to see if I can get some movement on the piston

So this is what i would do based on your details......first remove the jetpump and driveshaft. the pump itself could be seized. (something suck in the pump, bearings seized, impeller stuck on wear ring). second, remove the starter. the bendix could be stuck in the out position and keeping the crank from spinning. so remove the starter. the engine may actually be fine.
