Prop Shaft seal in a SXC 4

I'm having a problem with water getting in one of my drives. I have SCX 4's and IMCO want my house and first born for the tool set to take the prop shaft out to change the seal. So I'm looking for someone that has the tool and can change the shaft seal for me. I live in Virginia but will bring the drive to the closest place that can help. I need to get this done ASAP because I'm taking this boat to the Key West poker run.

Do you know for sure its the prop shaft seal? Did someone do a pressure check on it? Is the propshaft bent and taking water in as it has runout? there are alot of seals that it could be leaking from. Any good shop could do the work.. Its not rocket science, but you need it checked to find out where & why its leaking.

If I find that it's something other than the prop shaft seal I'll fix that. I really don't think the shaft is bent it's a #6 prop shaft. Right now I'm just trying to find out who has the IMCO Tools to change it out.

I have the SCX/SCX4 lower tool kit.. Let me know If I can help anyone..

Thanks jdflchr.
