Timbenner1,
I looked through your document and it was very helpful. I'm in the midst of replacing the oil seals on my Yanmar SD20 saildrives and have gotten through the hard part, or so I thought. What is the best way to actually get the seals out. They don't seem to want to budge. Shouldn't they come out fairly easy with some pliers or something? Mine don't seem to want to move. Maybe I'm being too gentle considering this is the first time I've done this, but I thought I'd check before I damaged anything trying to remove them. Any advice?
