omc cobra stern drive reseal

[dtdan]

I got some water in my drive last year and am going to reseal complete drive. Read a lot of posts and the manual many times. Would resealing the upper drive myself and sending the lower drive to a shop be the easiest way since I don't have special tools, do I realy need alignment tool to put drive back on? Planning on changing u-joints myself also. Please any advice would help.

If you read the service manual, the upper requires special tools and a press to replace the input shaft seal.<br /><br />The lower reseal can be performed by a person without a lot of special tools as long as the propshaft bearing carrier can be removed.<br /><br />You should always check alignment when an outdrive is serviced.<br /><br />Make sure you read and understand the factory service manual before attempting any "repairs".
