The tool that drives out the tube is like a seal or bearing driver. Just slightly bigger then the tube. Sorry but without actually doing it I couldn't tell you if there is a shortcut or homemade tool for it.

A winner is just a loser that got up and did it one more time.

I think I got this. I practiced using a intermediate section from one of my old outdrives. I applied some good heat and was able to softly drive out the tubes using a longer ratchet extension. The extension got beat up, but the metal seemed softer than the tube itself. The issue is getting something inside the tubes which seem to be the same diameter. I did drive out the upper tube first, as it was stuck on this midsection too. Once this was out, the bottom was quite easy.
Now for the outdrive itself that I will be using. My hope is after disassembling the lower and upper, it will all go back together the way it is supposed to. That is where I think your videos again will be quite helpful.
Another question about filling the water pickup with foam. Do you think I could just fill it by just pouring foam down the tube after after it is reassembled?
