I am looking to replace the trim cylinder seals on my motors. I was wondering if its sold as a kit or individually . Also opinions on which tool members recommend to remove the caps.

2003 F225 Trim cylinder seal replacement

several variables possible in that model; the SM calls for an install torque of 115 lb-ft for the trim ram caps
(but "only" 65 lb-ft for the tilt ram cap)
and actual removal torque required is a wild card - given the potential for corrosion
when I replaced the trim seals on my F225 TXRD in 2016 -
a homemade (hardwood) spanner worked fine
(although I seriously doubt that I achieved 115 lb-ft on reassembly)
when I later changed the tilt ram seals, I used the Marine Tech tool - a very pretty tool!
I suspect, though, that the best style is the Yamaha tool

I just wanted to update my post. I did purchase the marine tech tool and I can say it was worth the price. one of the hardest parts was getting out the dust seals. They were so far gone it took a while to dig them out. I replaced the o rings and dust seals.
