First we are dealing with a 1996 Mercury 175 EFI. Serial #OG385991

My goal is to change the Prop Shaft seals witch appear to be worn and are now leaking very slow (no water in the lower unit). I have read and researched and I am pretty certain how to do it myself (I will buy 2 sets just in case). Before I do I have just a few questions, any help would be appreciated.

Do you have to remove the Carrier Assembly just to do the 2 seals.


If I have to remove the Carrier will the Reverse gear and bearing stay in place?

Thanks
