There is a special tool, or spanner wrench to remove the end cap on the cylinder. That tool is not very strong at best. If the engine is used in salt water, you may just want to replace the cylinder. I don't know if a seal kit is still available. That job will require a manual.

It looks pretty; did you repaint it?
I found it hard to repair a 1988 PTT when it started leaking (salt water boat) the pros were afraid that once they opened it, it would never seal up well, or tha the srews wouldn't handle being unscrewed. They are a soft spot on the motor.
