johnson 40 prop saft seal

[wetboy86]

This is my first post on this forum. I want to thank everyone in advance for this site and your help.<br />I did search for my answer and found like posts but not what I need. I have what I beleave to be a 94 Johnson 40, mod# J40TLERE . I just got this boat and have been using it 2 to 3 times a week. It has started leaking gear oil from the prop shaft. I drained and refilled it and it seems to be leaking faster. I am hoping that I can replace Any prop shaft seals needed myself. I would like to limit the disassembly to only what is necessary. where can I find a diagram, parts list and any specific procedure. basically, how hard is this going to be?

You can drill into this site and find the parts list and schematic BRP Outboard Parts <br /><br />You really need to buy a manual to assist in doing this job, or your local library may have one.

BoatBuoy, thanks. That is just what I needed, great site. I have been playing in inboards so long I really did not know where to go for outboard help. I picked up the gear case seal kit today, Looks pretty straight forward. maybe a couple special tools like a puller for the prop shaft bearing housing. maybe a wheel puller and some all thread? if I can find the right size. anyone got some tricks or tips for disasembly and getting it all back together right?
