Rubber Gimbal seal - behind gimbal bearing

[HighLineCBR]

I need help identifying the rubber gimbal seal that sits behind the gimbal bearing on a 1989 OMC

it appears to have a metal spring in the seal, i guess to keep it tight on the drive shaft. I need took out my gimbal bearing but have no idea how to take out that seal and before I do, i need to be sure I know where to buy one to replace this one.

Is this the same on OMC and Mercruiser? can anyone find me a link with this part?


thanks

No special removal tool needed, just rip it out of there. Make sure the seating surface is good & install the new seal with a flat driver. Just tap it gently til it stops. You can borrow seal drivers from Advance or Autozone.
