55773d.Since the boat is winterized for the year. I want to replace all the seals in my lower unit due to water getting in. Ive never worked on an outboard but i need to learn. Im hoping the members can help me along the way. I have basic tools and im hoping i wont need any specialized tools. Ill be buying a sierra seal kit.Thanks
You will need a special spanner socket I think to get out the outer bearing support and not sure but I think it has a torque spec for when you screw it back in. Also I think there are some shimms behind it that have to be put back in the right order. Been a long time since I did one. First I would find a manual.
UT oh! Special tools make me nervous! Trying to do this cheap but right! I have a seloc manual 1302. Haven't really looked it over. I like real world advice from average Joe's like me!
Cray's right when it comes to lower units it's best to take it off and to a shop where they have the tools to do the job and when it's done they can also pressure test it to be sure it doesn't leak any more.
