1962 Johnson 10HP QD-23
I am replacing all the seals and water pump in the lower unit. I am using a Seloc manual as a guide. The Seloc manual states that a special punch tool must be used to remove the brass bushing and o-ring for the shift rod seal. I am referring to the brass bushing and o-ring that the shift rod passes through just prior to entering the gear housing. It is located next to and down slightly from the water pump housing. There is very little access to get any conventional tools in there to push it out. Can anyone give me some thoughts on how I might be able to get the bushing out so I can replace the o-ring? Is this "special punch tool" available or is it just a straight circular punch of the correct diameter?
I appreciate any and all assistance... Tim
