Re: [OMC-Boats] Swivel Housing Seal Question

Hey Scott (or anyone...!),

You said that center piece of the swivel housing came out easy?  I was able to pop the top seal out but not sure how to get that center aluminum tube that holds the 1" wide gasket liner.  I'm worried about damaging something in the process. 

I can replace the gasket liner and the upper seal with no problem and have thought about passing on replacing the lower seal due to the uncertainty of getting that liner holder out.  I'm having a debate with myself right now on that prospect.  Both sides are losing! ;-)

Thoughts?  Anyone....?

Mine came out really easy, I might not even need them, so I could probably just give them to you if need be.

Thanks Scott!

Where those parts difficult to get out and then back in again?  I'm debating whether I need to replace them or not.

Need some feedback here.  I've got my lower unit and pump housing dismantled and am about to finally order the new o-rings, seals and impeller but I'm a bit confused on a particular set of seals. 

In the attached schematic, I have circled in grey (sorry, tried to use red but it wouldn't do it) parts 63 and 64.  The look like free standing parts but they did not come off of the impeller housing.  Are they the two seals and (maybe?) the sleeve seemingly appearing inside the Swivel Housing (pic attached)?  Part #63 looks to have a split in it but there is no such split inside the swivel housing. 

Also, in looking at the bottom of the impeller housing (see pic), the outer surface looks worn like it's been rubbing metal against metal inside the swivel housing but not sure.  Has anyone replaced those particular seals?  Is that a removable sleeve?

Thanks.
