Was going through the process of changing the oil and bellows today, but looking at the dipstick the oil was milky white. Very annoying. Saw a seal set for ?65 which isn't bad, but how difficult is a change of seals, realistically speaking? Think these are the seals:
Dipstick, filler, drain plug o-rings (easy)
Gear shift seal
Prop outer seal
Seal between the two prop shafts
I'm reasonably competent mechanically with a decent set of tools, etc. but reading the tech manual quickly there are quite a few special tools mentioned, and I'll need to build a pressure/vacuum tester, etc. Is it going to be a total swine or is it easy enough, but time consuming? There was an awesome step-by step guide on this forum for changing the bellows - anyone know of one for changing the seals?
Thanks in advance.
