I *Think* you have to get the powerhead off to replace that seal.

How did you figure out that the upper seal is bad?

thanks for the info i figured as much i've been to the sears site its how i ordered my impeller. what i did is i took the lower unit off exposing the cooling tube i took a pump its a hand siphon is what it is i use it when i service tractors and such and i used it to pump water up the tube and out of the pee hole while doing this i shined a light up observing the tube looking for leaks it makes it a lot easier with someone helping you as you do this thats about it.
