3.0L sportmaster prop shaft seal replacement

I need to replace the prop shaft seals. Is pulling the carrier out required or can it be done from the outside?

Best to pull the carrier to do it. I have seen hacks that drill small hole in the seals, screw a screw into them and use a slide hammer to pull it out from the outside. Remember there are at least two seals to remove.

I have Charlie and Ed pull my carrier each year to inspect my gears and replace my seals and water pump, just as insurance.

Pull the carrier there is a seal installer that positions the seals at the correct depth and ensures they are installed square in the carrier.

Do you know where we can pick up that seal install tool

I guess I will run it over to Colabella and have him reseal it. I was just hoping to avoid the 4 hour round trip in the car over just a couple of seals.

I have the Merc part number but dealer probably would have to order it.
