We've had an oil leak from the rear of the transmission for several years. Not a bad leak but annoying with transmission fluid staining our engine absorbent pads. Since I have the shaft out of the boat I decided to go ahead and pull the transmission.
I first removed the rear motor mount lock nuts so that I could raise the engine a few inches. Once the eninge was up I removed the motor mount brackets that are bolted to the transmission/engine block. The transmission bolts came out easily using a 1/2 socket wrench. The lower two bolts were not so easy as I could not get the socket on the bolt heads but had to use a small box end wrench and a small breaker bar. Once the bolts were loose I could remove them easily. The transmission slid out easily and I brought it home yesterday.
I cleaned the housing up, removed the output shaft, installed a new inner O Ring and pressed in a new rear seal. I did not have a new front seal so decided to go ahead and or a replacement and install while the transmission is out.

KBW10 transmission. Will spot paint the case and reinstall everything this weekend.
