Re: OMC Tilt Drive Seal Replacement:
Ok Rich... <br /><br />Use a sharp putty knife and small hammer and tap that cover off, wedging the knife in the seam.<br /><br />Hopefully the drive is off, makes life much easier if it is. If you don't want to pull it, you still have to remove the quadrant gear and support the drive up with something. <br /><br />Remove the spring clip from the small gear and pull gear off. Remove the cover, and tap the other end of the shaft, driving out the clutch pak. Extract the outer seal. <br /><br />Install the new seal, using HiTach or #2 Permatex around the outside of the seal. Drive it in with a seal installer or an appropriate size socket.<br /><br />The seal kit should also include new seals for the worm drive shaft. You should replace those too... but you really need to buy yourself a service manual.
