Johnson lower unit leaking water at gasket connection of shaft, hard to repair??

[vesselgreenhead]

can someone tell me if it is a hard task to remove the five bolts I see where the lower unit connects to the main shaft on a 93 johnson 115 v4. does it come right off and the gasket can be changed easily or is it more complicated than that. can someone guide me through this?? if so, does this sound like a pinched gasket or more serious. it was rebuilt about a year ago and looks like it was stabbed on a little crooked.
