Have 1995 force 40hp. Drive shaft seal is leaking oil (seal just below impeller). I have bought two new seals but do not know how to remove the old seals. Any help would be great.
:confused:

Re: how remove oil seals

Not too familiar with that engine but usually seals are removed with a hook, a seal puller, or a screwdriver. You hook any tool under it and pull or pry up. The seal is always destroyed during removal. Just put a small plate under the tool to cushion the aluminum casting so you don't groove it.
