This video is a lifesaver! Tired of my slow leak. Marine mechanics won't touch it. New unit $1200+ or an outfit on Ebay that rebuilds them for $400+. I'll give this a try and let you know how it worked out. Awesome!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks to this video i did it. I used a spanner wrench ( a must). Dave is correct that one can use the power up to push out the main piston, but i added ATF to get it to pressure up,. I also used a rubber mallet and hit the case at the point of the piston. Yes it popped out. Ok the seals were hard (old) and the main piston seal had about five scratches on that piston. so i would say that you got to replace all 3 seals. I got to get the fluid and bleed. I would get the mercury fluid and not use ATF, mercury is clear. Thanks Dave.

Do you happen to have a part number for the replacement seals? I am working on a 91 Mercury 100.
not easier to pull the whole thing off the motor so its free of everything to work on?
Price on parts ?
