We’ve already removed the lower unit, and if you need to see how to do that you can check out this video: https://youtu.be/ujX5rB6VIOI John will start by getting the gearcase fluid out. Then, we’ll show you how to remove the prop and get the input shaft removed. During this process, we scratched the input shaft a little bit, and John will show you how to repair that. With the input shaft removed, we’ll use our Mercury outboard seal kit to replace them. We’ll wrap up by reinstalling the input shaft.
