Rebuilding an upper on a 270/280/290 Volvo stern drive is not for everyone. However, the shift shaft has a tendency to leak, as the unit ages, and it is something that can be serviced without special tools.
After removing the cover, pin #5 must be removed before pin #4 so as to facilitate removal of #3, the eccentric. The new oil seal comes as a kit with it's own set of instructions. Be sure to read them carefully.
Note: the head assembly and gears are removed only for display and is not necessary to service the shift shaft seal.
