Jon,    The seals are cheap and expendable as well.

Ok, what's the secret here?  Poking around one of my MK101 lower units 
to get familiar with it and I have hacked up the outer seal trying to 
remove it.  I assumed these things were entirely rubber fabricated and 
just fit tightly into the cylinder that surrounds the shaft.  However, 
it looks like they are rubber over metal and press-fit into the aft 
section of the motor housing.  Anyone removed these things?  I can't 
find anything on the internet with instructions on how to remove them.  
I can't just pull them out with plyers...tried that and now I'm going to 
have to purchase new seals.   :)

Jon
