Old problem has new victim--ME! Two motors: 1976 Evinrude 135 HP and 1977 Evinrude 85 HP. You know it! Fighting this thing for months. Prop shaft seal leaks. I have watched at least a dozen YouTube vids on homemade tools and contraptions to remove bearing carrier. I have seen the"seal hack" vid and that's not for me. Have come up with my own as well, but to no avail. No salt motors--just age. Unsure about amount of heat. I don't want to ruin a gear case housing. Ultimately heat will have to be used, but I want the tool to do most of the work. I've seen (4) tools anywhere from $80 to $234. GLM 90095, Marine Tech, Sierra and Precision. What's the most suitable for old Evinrude/Johnson? This is a killer!! Need help.
