Need to disassemble the rear "cone_vein" to replace the bushings. There is a large nut. Tried a 2ft pipe wrench to no avail

After looking in parts book, that nut is one with the casting. Not removable.
The bushings are pulled out.

The inner seal will not pop out. This must come apart

on my 2001, the seal popped right out. New seal popped right in.

Inner seal? The new one is not very flexible. I believe THAT is the seal causing my oil leak. The outer is some sort of retention part...

There's so little info online for these.. sucks

OMG...

After searching high n low on the internet, downloading a manual that told me I need a special seal puller, it flicked RIGHT OUT.

THERE ARE NO TRICKS... IM SO happy yet so pissed I couldn't find this info. I've missed weeks of boating smh

Thanks for the input guys
