    Where do I get Yamaha special tools?

    Well, now that I've torn the hell out of the rear prop shaft oil seal and made absolutely no progress toward getting it out I guess I should do it the right way.
    I need to know where to get the special tool YB-34447 to remove the ring nut out of my 150 proV lower unit so I can pull the bearing housing and replace the prop shaft oil seals the correct way. I've tried bumping it with a hammer and screwdriver but it's not working.
    I think maybe I should have just paid someone to do this.

    Whew, good question. I wonder if a yamaha certified mech can get you one. Are you friends with any local boat dealerships?

    I'm gonna try to make my own ring nut socket to put the new one back in.
    I had to drill the old one out because I was afraid I was gonna mess up the gear case beating that nut with a hammer and punch.

    I needed the tool to remove the trim cylinder caps. These guys let me barrow the tool if I bought the parts from them. They were great there prices were fair. I live in Florida the sent me parts with the tool and when I was done I mailed it back to them. Maybe they will do the same for you.
