    Thanks mate. I’m in the process of changing my warped prop shaft and needed some guidance in changing these seals. You are a legend. Hi from south Western Australia 👍

    Thanks for the video! Do you have one that illustrates putting a complete seal kit in an older Mercury 25 hp 2 stroke motor?

    Great video, John. Thanks for the guide. One question…are the seals installed properly? The service diagram mates the 2 seals with the aluminum against each other. Just checking

    So you use red locktite on outside of both the seals before seating them?

    HI, I have a 1987 Mercury 25 hp 2 stroke outboard and wonder if you know if the process on this motor is similar to replace the prop shaft seals for our motor?

    On the inside of the lower unit housing for the carrier there is ALLOT of black carbon like crud and some white-ish colored crud. Perhaps Loctite type but resembles dried out plumbers putty. That appears to be keeping me from getting to the carrier o-ring and trying to remove the carrier. Suggestions to get that retainer plate loose given the crud would be appreciated as I don't want to scratch up the inside of the housing!

    I have a 25 horsepower Mariner with a very slow gear oil leak tiny drops. Would this be the same procedure?

    I didn’t have the special tool too unscrew it out I just used a big screw driver between the tab and prop shaft and came undone.

    Man! You make this look easy. Now to rebuild my '62 Merc 1000 lower end... It'll go just as smooth...right?? lol

    My question is do I have to drop lower unit or can I leave it connected to remove the shaft housing?

    You actually dont need that special tool, Mercury included it. Once the prop is off, remove the thrust washer. Inside the thrust washer there is a little key you can pry the metal cap off of. Then, you flip that key upside down and put it back on the shaft making sure it engages the three little tabs on the bearing carrier just beside the shaft. You can then slide the prop back on and turn it by the prop with a big ol 1 1/16" socket and a breaker bar.
    My 1980s 25 mercs had these (had an 82&84, same setup as this one)

      William Winters as do I. I’ve replaced these lower unit seals before and still have some leak and will just end up replacing all the lower unit seals this month and John started uploading at the perfect time! Haha

    Hi, I have watched your video and it has help. But I have been trying to find the right tool , does anyone know who has this one. I order one and it ended up being a 4 prong. I need the 3 prong.

    Would the need for a carrier tool be applicable for a 1986 Mercury 6hp?
