    John will show you how to replace the prop seals on your Mercury outboard in this video from Boats.net. Removing the lower unit isn't necessary for this job, but we’re also changing the upper seals and replacing the water pump on this Merc 40, so we’ve already removed the lower unit. If you need to see how to do that you can check out this video: • Mercury Tracker 40 Low...
    We’ll start by removing the gearcase fluid. Then, we’ll get the prop off so that we can access the bearing carrier assembly. With it removed, we’ll pull the old seals and replace them. Finally, we’ll get the bearing carrier and prop re-installed on the outboard.

    On my Mercury Force 40 from 1996, I couldn't get out the oil seals like this. They were a nightmare and I ultimately was able to finally get them out with a 14 piece / 2lb slide hammer kit from Harbor Freight - but only after heating up the housing a good bit with a blow torch. Massive thanks for this post, it was incredibly helpful and hopefully what I've shared here helps someone else whose prop seals are really stuck :)

    Good luck doing this again in the future with that red Loctite. I would hate to have to put a torch to those aluminum parts just to disassemble. This is why they make blue, and purple for extra small stuff.

    My name is Todd Reali and had a ? About my 40hp mercury 4 stroke . What allows your prop shaft to move in and outward with prop on or off ? And should the prop shaft move in and out at all? Thank you for time and input its really helped me with my motor maintenance. Sincerely, Todd Reali

    Is disconnecting the drive shaft linkage the same for a 2006 Mercury 50hp 4 stroke? Having trouble dropping my lower unit to do my water pump.

    Will it hurt anything on the power head if I remove the lower unit and it is a few months before I get it reinstalled. I came out this morning and noticed that the carrier unit had cracked around the bolts. There was some water in the lower unit when I pulled the drain plug. I drained the gear case and flushed it with some seafoam deep creep before refilling with gear oil. I can't do the repair right now, but thought I could remove the lower unit and store it in doors to keep it from the cold. The motor would remain outside on the boat for the winter.

    Is it normal to pull out the prop shaft easily? I was able to pull out bearing carrier without any issues but i can’t seem to pull out the prop shaft. Is there trick to pulling it out?

    @kevinsturges466 3 года назад +3

    Loctite 271 is supposed to be heated to 250 degrees to remove bolts. I never tried it so I don’t know. How do you get them out if you have to replace the seals in the future?

    • @johnvgig
      @johnvgig Год назад

      Exactly! If you're going to use thread locker use the low strength version, 222MS, purple.

    Can the bearing carrier be pulled out with a just regular jaw puller?

    i cant believe this man put red loctite on the seals and bolts... feel awful for the poor fella that has to work on this LU next. SMH!! red requires heat, blue is removable.
