The seal can be removed (if you're careful) by prying with a screwdriver. I use a small slide hammer with "inside puller jaws", but I've also done it with a screw driver and a thin piece of wood (or plastic) to protect the surrounding casing while prying.

No need to use heat, the seal will pry out, sometimes they can be a pain but it will pry out for you.

Re: Oil Retainer removal help

suggest going to marineengine.com and find the part no. for the housing..many split gearcases use the same housing....then shop ebay or other marine salvage yard listed in the Top Secret Files...
