"SEASTAR HELM" TOP SEAL REPAIR (HOW TO)

[@b_binder]

Jaw puller is a must to get that wheel off quickly. A few turns and they pop right off. Gotta do it the hard way though haha. Appreciate the videos, they've saved me a few times! Thanks

[@ChefOutdoors]

thanks for sharing! I hope it helps someone else doing the job! great tip!

[@jordanford8545]

This guy is great. Not only can he cook but he has some hands on knowledge on how to repair boat mechanic issues. Oh yeah and he can flat out fish too!!

[@ChefOutdoors]

thank you for the support!

[@garycotz563]

That was REAL. My kind of Hell Yeah.

[@ChefOutdoors]

hell yeah!! I'm glad you liked it

[@billyglover6982]

You need a puller for the steering wheel removal. Works great!

[@ChefOutdoors]

Agreed😁

[@ProjectReel]

Easy enough to do, thanks for DIY. Little tip from a mechanics POV buy yourself a bronze/brass hammer. You’ll be less likely to damage any nut or stud while hitting it.

[@ChefOutdoors]

awesome, thank you for contributing!!

[@WillisColson-g1t]

It worked! You the man!

[@ChefOutdoors]

Awesome 🙌

[@ChefOutdoors]

[@rrgH20polo]

Hi looks like your in Florida. Oh I got the same leak. Think Ill try some Break Free oil over night and maybe a bearing puller in the wheel. Hey could you please tell me the Part number of that little rebuild bag. Thank

Thanks for the vid. I was confident enough to do my seal replacement after watching .

[@ChefOutdoors]

Awesome 👍 super glad to hear that. I always find the the only thing that is hard to do is the unknown .

[@mkapuscik01]

Thanks for sharing. I need to replace my seal too on my Ranger but to be honest...probably will use a steering wheel puller from Autozone if needed.

[@ChefOutdoors]

Sounds like a good idea🤣

[@pipeliner345]

Thank you for sharing this for i need to do the very same thing. And i applaud your effort to make it real because it is real, it's never easy, outstanding!!

thank you

[@ralphc8500]

There is something called a steering wheel pulled and cost less then 20.00 Dollars at Auto Zone, all that pounding and heat are not a recommender practice on these helms they have lots of sensitive parts on the inside as I have replace all the o-rings in the unit. Not using the Steering wheel Puller Made the job Harder then it should of been. But it was nice he made the Video so everyone can see just how easy it is to replace the Helm out O-ring and save $400.00 having a shop do the work. I just bought a kit for $14.00 and had it installed in 15 minutes. But I knew what I needed 1- 5/16 socket Phillips Screwdriver, Steering wheel Puller Grease or ANti Seiz to put on the shift to make it easier to take the steering wheel off next time and a INCH LB TORQUE WRENCH FOR Tightening the shaft nut to 150 in. Lb.

[@ChefOutdoors]

for sure! great advice. thank you for sharing to help others

[@GraysonBonfilsFishing]

Cmon chef gotta put some of that man power in that steering wheel

[@ChefOutdoors]

Absolutely I can’t wimp out🤣 I got this

[@wmmelson]

Can we get a thermostat replacement video on mercruiser io? Asking for a friend...

[@ChefOutdoors]

maybe soon

[@Fabel_10]

Nice vid dude

[@ChefOutdoors]

thank you

[@anthonyhoward6938]

Where did you get the rebuilt kit from

[@ChefOutdoors]

a local marine parts store

[@cathypetito4583]

Very helpful

[@ChefOutdoors]

thank you

[@airlandnsea]

Instead of using map gas try pre soaking with wd40 then using a puller

[@ChefOutdoors]

Sounds like a plan. Thank you for contributing other ideas!!

[@surfhomey565]

What is the tread size??

[@ChefOutdoors]

I don’t remember🤷‍♂️ I’m gunna have to look in my die set

[@that_boyzac4908]

This would be great addition to your channel, boat mechanics should be covered more. You can't just park it and walk home...

[@ChefOutdoors]

Thank you. I appreciate the input 👍

[@bricemiller4249]

Said, id like to know where....you got the noootionnnnn....baby...to rock the boat baby, dont rock the boat, dont tip the boat....

[@ChefOutdoors]

Lol 😂

[@robertwise7810]

A gear/wheel puller works great for those hard to come off steering wheels!

[@ChefOutdoors]

Yes it does! a great tip

[@realbobmir279]

you are not just a chef or fisherman you are macgyver

[@ChefOutdoors]

Thanks I sure try to be🤣

[@Grady252]

Who was the clown rocking the boat back and forth during the video! lol. I was getting seasick!

[@ChefOutdoors]

That’s would be this big clown dressed in black🤣

[@carlmaro]

God, that excessive knocking is like water torture 😫

[@ChefOutdoors]

I know😂

[@visionofmalkav]

Useful video on a topic the manual completely ignores. Just watch your audio levels next time. Every time the music came on the voice audio went 10 feet underwater.

[@ChefOutdoors]

Thank you. Took a while for me to figure that all out

[@userallyedmvnds]

wowwowo

[@ChefOutdoors]

just a little fire

[@garyowens5514]

Need to work on the volume and why have music to drowned out instructions and stabilize the boat to stop the shaking that make it annoying to watch !!!

[@ChefOutdoors]

agreed one of my earlier videos. I'm slowly getting better. thanks for watching!

[@PukinBigBird]

Never do this. Buy a cheap wheel puller at harbor freight and the steering wheel will pop right off

[@ChefOutdoors]

Good advice 🙌

[@christophere5130]

🤣

[@ChefOutdoors]

Good times 😂

[@CuttingEdge49]

Wheel pullers are pretty cheap.

[@ChefOutdoors]

where's the fun in that?

[@mlvcustomsllc5395]

Thud thud thud thud thud thud! Wtf!?

[@ChefOutdoors]

lol.... if your talking about the constant knocking it was the camera tripod..lol :) boat kept moving causing it to rock

[@mlvcustomsllc5395]

O, gotcha. Older go pros do that! Good vid anyways bro!
