I have oil coming up into the exhaust housing from around the shift rod. I have bought a lower unit seal kit but I have a few questions cuz this is my first outboard and I don't know what to expect in there.

1. how do i keep everything from falling apart so I can get it back together right?

2. how do the seals for the shift rod come out?

3. is there anything else I need to know/things to watch out for before I crack this thing open?

Thanks for the help I just don't want to tear anything up
