Re: Drilling out top seal

[RICHARD A. WHITE]

quote Dougs Outboards:

I am trying to replace my top crank seal on my ’57 Johnson 18, and having trouble getting thru the hard steel. Any suggestions on a brand of drill bit that might be sharp and hard enough to get a hole started, or a technique that you use?

I have looked on you tube and have found nothing usable. All kinds of stuff showing a leaky seal, but nothing I have found about drilling, pulling and replacing.

Thanks for any help,

Doug

Umm, there is a seal puller out there….Shameful plug but message me…. I make them
