Re: 1967 sportfour 60hp lower unit
You have to separate the upper and lower sections of the gearcase. Then the shift rod will come out by loosening the clamp bolt that you will find. It is not a straight rod,,note which way the bend goes. Once the shift rod is out, just pick the o-ring out of the bushing and squeeze the new one flat and slide it in. The yokes that the bottom end of the shift rod go into can be a mite tricky to reattach but it can be done. There is also an o-ring between the upper and lower cases.
Be careful when you separate the gearcases. The pinion bearing rollers will all fall out. Don't let them fall into the lower case or you will be going fishing for them.
