My manual says the shaft seals should be installed "back to back". The drawings are such that I can't tell if that's metal to metal or rubber to rubber side of the seals.

"The dual seals are always to be installed metal to metal, such as:

1st seal installed rubber side down.

2nd seal installed rubber side up."

"Thanks for the words of wisdom. I'm about ready to leap off into the lower unit. Santa brought me a slide hammer/seal puller, so that should make things a little easier. The manual lists several specialized tools that I don't have. Are any of those absolutely required, or can I make do with substitutes?"
