I recently replaced my lower unit propeller shaft?s seal using Frank?s suggestions w/o a puller, ?I thought I needed?. I have read that Chrysler?s 35 HP ? 55HP motors are basically the same in the same year models. All went well on my 1968?72 35 HP. There are attachments and info at the following address related to the job. Please post any additional questions if needed, "The Family will have some suggestions". My local Marina/Parts/Store had the parts from the model/year/hp info and I matched & miched the parts. There is possibly a diagram at the address below and at your marina's parts.
