You can change the front/rear and trunnion shaft seal while it is installed, but the seal under the control linkage is a disassembly of the hydro unit.

All cleaned up now (not a pretty job but I guess 40 years untouched with a non-functional cooling fan will do that...was that way when I bought it in 1984 and should have fixed it when I put in the new K341 a few years later). Heaviest build-up of junk is around the front coupling. So simple question...if it was you, would you change the front seal now before you put it back together? I know enough about pumps to know "path of least resistance" and fixing a weak spot will probably show a problem elsewhere.
