Re: 15hp Super fastwin cant find drive shaft seal 41A62!
The easy way or the harder way?
The easy way is to get the tool to do it. Frank makes it as well. He has thought of all these problems hasnt he!
The harder way is to make a couple custom tools out of paper clips or other similar wire.
Cut 2 pieces about 5" long. Round off and smooth both ends. Now bend little loops on 1 end of each. This is your handle.Bend the loops about 3/8" to 1/2" diameter.
Now on 1 of the tools, bend a hook with about 1/16" radius. This tool will be for pulling the o ring out.
To remove the o rings, use your straight tool to depress the plunger valve, then use the hooked tool to pull the o ring out.
To replavce the o rings, put a drop of oil on o ring, and place on connnector face. Depress valve plunger again with straight tool by passing it through the o ring. Pinch the o ring together with your fingers and stuff it into position on its seat. Then use the straight tool already inserted to position the o ring by twirling it in a circle in the inside diameter of the o ring.
Now check for leaks.
I have done both and swear by Franks tool. Makes it easy and prevents damaging the o ring.
BTW, use only the OEM o rings, aftermarket are not nearly as good.
