Reply To: OMC Shift Rod O-Ring Removal

Thanks to everyone that replied. I’ll continue with my attempt at making this tool, and turn it down so it’s just small enough to fit into the casting opening. If this doesn’t work, I’ll try “Plan B”.

I don’t have a nice long handle punch like the one bobw posted, so most likely will try the tap method recommended by crosbyman. This is a proven method. Will a 5/16″ standard thread tap work on the brass bushing?

I may want to borrow one of your tools fleetwin. Thank you. My preference, at this point, is to drive the bushing out, but that is subject to change. I’ll see how it goes.

Thanks again!
