GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Resealing the lower unit on 1977 70 hp evinrude outboard. I’ve seen a video of a guy punching the drive shaft oil seal out, but mine is tearing. It is all one piece right?
Yes, they take a beating in there so stick to side walls etc although ive never done that one myself. Just be so careful to not hit the bearing. Put a bit of grease on the lip before reinstalling shaft
Typically you would pack the space between the 2 seals with grease.----I put electrical tape on splines to prevent damage to seals when sliding this assembly in place.----Note --the word " front " on the housing too.
I think yours has 2 seals in it !!----I started working on outboards before your motor was built !-----That bearing is not very shiny.----What does the thrust bearing look like.----What does the driveshaft bearing surface look like at the top ???----Pictures needed here.
