removing seal glands seastar

[mistylady]

I successfully removed the defective gland on the port cylinder, cannot budge the starboard side. used a heat gun (could not use a torch to much light and wind) any suggestions? ps the starboard side does not leak, however i do belive in murphys law.<br /><br /> mistylady

Re: removing seal glands seastar

I have a mercury single outboard with front mount seastar hydraulic steering. the seal glands are located on each side of the hydraulic cylinder. I removed the port side which was defective and replaced the seal, the starboard side wont budge. Since thet sell as pair i thought it best to replace both sides. any body have any suggestions?<br /><br /> Thanks<br /> Mistylady
