I do think there are specialized tools to do this job. Might be cheaper to have it done at a repair facility than buy the tools!

Agree with Mini. The lower unit needs to come apart to have this done.

Call Bob Bourquet at Marine USA in Mass. Tell him you are from the board and he will give you the straight scoop.

If you plan on doing the job yourself, I recommend buying the Merc repair manual for your motor.
