[PSUBS-MAILIST] Minn-Kota Shaft Seals

[Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

What I found best was to use a flat head screw driver and tap out the brass
shaft bearing first.  With this out of the way, you can use the flat head
screw driver to tap out the lip seals.  On reinstalling, leave pressing the
brass shaft bearing to last.
