Re: Shift shaft seal removal – ’61 Merc 6hp

[jpatti75]

Thanks for the responses, guys. I was able to get it out tonight with some work with a Dremel and a small punch. Certainly wasn’t a finesse job. Probably one of the more difficult seals I’ve had to get out in awhile…way too small to use any of my seal puller tools. I think the bushing isn’t too worse for wear at this point, so I should be able to pop in a new seal and be all set. If it leaks, I can always pop for the new bushing assembly, but dang, they are pricey.
