The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I have removed the gear case on this old motor. Is there a tool to remove the seal or just utilize a punch etc. Do I just fill the gear case back up with gearoil.

There used to be a special tool, rather complex and expensive. Nowadays, you just get it out the best way you can. A slide hammer bushing puller sometimes works, sometimes it just bends the seal.

Sweet. I have the next model year motor . Those are very simple lower units to re-seal. There's only like three seals all together, to replace. Upper seal, prop seal and prop hub o-ring. Which stands the reason, these are less likely to take in water, then the full shift motors.
