At 650hrs and 9 years old I thought it about time to replace the oil seals on the 130S saildrive.  
Its a simple job.  A few points to remember.  
Ensure the oil drain plug is removed prior to withdrawing the gear assembly.  The gear will break off the magnet as you withdraw it if you don't.  I was warned and didn't actually make this mistake!
Removing the housing can be take a bit of effort.  One method I used to get it moving is to tap the top and bottom of the carrier from the side to rotate the housing once it's moving you can gently ease it out.  
The oil seals looked like new and were still pliable, so good news there. Make a note of the orientation, they are back to back.  Be Carful drifting out the outer race.  I used a small drift and took my time.  
Replacing the seals is easy.  Find a socket just slightly smaller than the oil seal and gently tap them into place, they should be assembled dry.
To replace the outer race I put the race in the freezer and the carrier in the hot sun for a couple of hours.  Still an interference fit but easy to drift back in.  
Check the condition of the bearings and clean everything down and reassemble.
Hope that helps anyone wanting to do this.  There are 'how to videos' on YouTube if you're stuck. 


You can just see some wear lines from the oil seals but nothing to really be concerned about after cleaning with a scotchbright pad.
