Oil cooled correct?
I have never had the pleasure of changing them, but it should not be too bad. When you have the shaft coupler undone, check to make sure the clearance is even all the way around. I believe the spec is no more than 5 thousandths of an inch (if you have a feeler gauge). If it is more than that, and engine alignment needs to be performed and may have been the cause of the seal failures.
Another piece of advice. Props should be balanced every 5 years or so even if you have not hit anything. An out of balance prop will eventually lead to premature cutlass bearing failure and shaft seal failure.
Good luck!
