I was getting my TRS outdrives ready to pull and paint and was draining the lube out and had a small amount of water in one of them,I am going to pull caps and covers also separate upper and lowers and re-do the o-rings, is there any common place these may tend to leak in water?....There was no water in the bellows, Thanks for any information you may have on this,....Fred

Looking at my manual to see where the seal or o-ring is on the prop shaft....do I need a special tool to get to it?....What is the part #?.....Fred

Are the oil seals that are located in the bearing carrier part#26-76868, 2 required the ones?....is it much work to get them out without special tools?....Fred

Fred,
The seals are not imposible to change with drive assembled.
I have used an ice pick to poke a small started hole in seal and then get a long # 6 sheet metal screw and use it to pull seal .Be careful not to scratch shft where the seal rides.

Thanks rws...I'll try that before disassembly of the whole thing,....Fred

I got the seals off the way rws mentioned doing it.....now I just have to figure out what seal cross references it....anyone know?...the merc number is 26-76868....they are a stainless steel seal....Fred
