140hp Johnny Prop Housing Seals...

[ddbyrd3]

After an extended period of time freeing a seriously stuck prop bearing housing, I was finally able to get it out.<br /><br />My question, is there anything I should know, trick, etc prior to replacing the seals and O ring and re-installing the prop bearing housing?????

Clean, clean and clean dd. Make sure the cavities for the seals is clean with no burrs. The oring groove needs to be clean. Try and get as much carbon outta' the carrier cavity as possible. The cleaner things are, the less chance of leaky seals.<br /><br />Good Luck!

I have cleaned the housing to the point of it looking brand new, what can I use to clean the lower unit caseing. There is allot of carbon build up in the lower unit and I need to get it out.<br /><br />Any suggestions???
