1988 25hp Johnson Powerhead Removal

[Big_Kahuna]

The power head off with ease thanks to this forum and the service manual. Bottom crank seal needs to be replaced but cant get it to budge with the bolts out. Was going to take exhaust off but bolt head broke off so I stop. Any suggestions

Tapped it from the side with wooden block then pried on it easy. Them bolts for the exhaust different story used heat and bolt head pop off like nothing. Got the seal container soaking in parts cleaner.

There were issues with those seals.----The factory replacements are a much better seal than the original.
