Ok, yesterday I did my seals and replaced the fluid on my outboard. The seals themselves weren't too bad of a job but bleeding the air is a b*#@h!!! Just some hints, the two smaller rods will have some mushrooming on the ends, this has to be removed. When the old seals pass over them without any snagging they are good. The seals that sit inside the caps can be hard to install, use some grease to help it slide in place. On the main rod, I found it would not come out while the trim unit was still inside the bracket. I had to remove the unit. When you go back in with it, the lower mount won't fit back down in there. You will need a large flat blade screwdriver to help it slide back down, and make sure the plastic spacers are still in the holes. On the main rod, the valve on the base has to come off, watch the way it goes, and there are 4 springs in it. Watch the nut that holds the valve on, its a SAE size, 15/16"(check the size on yours). After it is off there is a lip on the shaft that is sharp that the seals have to pass over. The top seal is a hard seal with a lip that faces up and the inner seal is a thick o ring. To help prevent cutting the seals on this lip, take a fine file and going down, lightly file the edge of the lip so it has a slight bevel and then take a sandwich baggy and cut one of the corners off so that it goes past the lip about 1/2". Use plenty of lube, on seals I use petroleum jelly, and just gently wiggle and twist the seal head(cap) down over the lip. On the fluid reservoir, the cap is plastic as is the reservoir threads, mine started to not go on right after awhile. Watch this and get a new one after you are done. I have one on order from the shop. The fill port is a huge O.D. and has a small I.D. hole in which nothing fits as far as tubing to fill the reservoir. Go to any farm and ranch supply store and get a large syringe to fill the reservoir. I hope this helps someone.
