      How hard is it to change crank seals on my 1957 Sea King 25hp? I’m more of a Merc guy. never done it on an OMC. I have the mag of right now to change coils. Should I change them while I have it down this far? I will NOT be using ethanol. Thanks, Brian.

        Well if they are original I do. I have a large bag of them on hand though. I also have Franks tool, which makes it super easy.

            I once made a run of those on special orders, but am not planning on making any more. I gave my prints to Richard White. See a thread on the subject

                  That looks slick Frank! Does it pull, or install the seals?

                    I’m still kicking myself for not buying one. 😥

                        It screws into the seal and pulls it out. Picture is a seal that was pulled out, still on the puller nose.
