1964 Johnson 40 hp lower seals

For the removal of the shift rod o ring and bushing is there another way other than obtaining the tapered punch tool or where can I find one.

Any rod that's larger than the casting hole, but smaller than the bushing will work. Chinewalker uses a ground off screw to do it as he describes here.

i changed one of those on a 74 70 hp last week . you can pull it out with a stiff wire or needle . <br />smash it together and work it back in be carful not to scratch it on the inside surface. some manuels show this proseidure on the o ring on a johnson gass conector .papasage

You can buy (or order) the special tool from your local Johnson/Evinrude dealer.
