Even if you had the special tool, it is very doubtful that the tool would work as advertized. It might work fine on a factory fresh motor; but on one where the cartridge has been sitting in there corroding, forgedabowdit. You can disassemble the gear case and use the drive shaft to pull it out. Much more likely to succeed, that way….and you can reseal the whole thing while you’re there, because odds are very strong that it could use it….It’s a lot of work and other gear cases are available; although I would not call them plentiful. Most old Mercurys left the planet to return to Carl, BECAUSE of gear case failure, due to water intrusion. IMHO, you might just consider fixing the one you have, that is, hopefully, still intact.
Long live American manufacturing!
