Fairly simple actually
Pending all goes to plan and nothing breaks.
Remove prop and nuts;
Remove upper yoke;
Remove upper seal;
Pull shaft from the bottom;
Replace lower seals;
Replace shaft in reverse order...

Should be 25 min start to finish. I'd replace all the shaft grease while I'm at it.

For more details on the procedure you can go to the GoDevil website and download the maintenance manual in a PDF file.

hey if you're gonna replace the shaft save yourself some trouble. pull the shaft then put it in a vice and break the prop loose. thats the hardest part of the whole procedure. i would invest in an inexpensive 3/4-10 tap and die. chase the threads on prop and shaft each time you service.

Garjacker, I will try to get that prop off but man it's really on there. If I can get it then I will go with your suggestion. I appriciate it.
