VerifiedHi, To replace the seals # XXXXX you will need a bearing carrier # XXXXX tool to remove the large spanner nut # XXXXX to replace the seals.
You can use a chisel to remove the carrier but you will need the tool to install nut and torque. You probably should take the gearcase to a Honda mechanic.
