I recall seeing a tool to install these seals in-situ. Have lost link on this.<br /><br />1. Need a pointer on where I can find this.<br />2. How do you remove the seals witout removing the carrier?<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Qystan
<br /><br />At the moment I can't figure out how to get the seals off. Pry with screwdriver? Punch/drill holes and hook and pull them out? All seems to be tricky and may damage the shaft. Is there a trick to this...c'mon let us in on the trade secret ...If it is a trade secret, will let this rest.<br /><br />I've seen one shaft with battle scars that its a wonder that it still seals at all. <br /> actually its best tp pull the carrier once every year or at least two. helps keep the gear case from splitting due to corrosion. I have some mercs and yammies that I service and have since 1991 and they have never split a case and the lowers always drop off and I never use a torch on them<br />but then again some of my customers read and head the service maint .<br />so when they do get a net or some mono that cuts up a seal its an 1 1/2 hour operation to change it. not a 10 hour ordeal with drill bits and heat.<br />if the carrier nut is tight drill it in 3 spots with a 1/4 drill and crack the spanner nut out. . I will be doing annual cleanups on this.<br /><br />By the way, got the SEI lower unit, looks good. In process of mounting it and going out this weekend.<br /><br />No winter here sun, sun <br />...ouch! too much sun!
