I would have them resealed.....it is cheap insurance seven year-old seals not good. I would take a real close look at the Drive shaft bellows too. Ed

As far as taking them apartand inspecting them, the upper is alot like a trs just bigger, seal drivers are needed to replace the seals but just to inspect on the upper some o-rings and some perfect seal and torque specs will git-r-done. Ed

If you are really tricky, and you can hold the outdrive in the correct position so that the lower gears don't fall out of position. The prop shaft can be removed while a "stand in " shaft is slid into it's place. This will hold the gears and shims in their correct order. Then the three seals near the prop can be replaced without having to totally disassemble the drive. I did this on mine. But... I also have a rotating stand and fixtures to hold the outdrive and a specially sized shaft to hold the gears.
