[QUOTE="Piomarine, post: 476620, member: 16014"] Ok I’m at a loss with this drive shaft seal...I attempted the screw method 3 times. What resulted was 2 broken drill bits and 2 screws broken off inside the seal itself. I’m really getting afraid that the amount of damages caused by attempting to remove this seal has been FAR worse than it would’ve been if I had left the seal alone on the first place. 2 of the attempts at strumming the screw resulted in the screw punching right through the bottom of the seal right into the drive shaft housing. One of those punched through the wall of the drive shaft housing and this is after I cut the pointed ends off of the screws. I really don’t know where to go from here and can not afford to buy a new lower unit. How screwed am I? [/QUOTE]
