953 nut 70,217 #2 Posted Wednesday at 04:33 PM use an awl to make two small pilot holes 180* apart. Use two sheet metal screws tightening them alternately and the seal will back right out. 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 13,274 #4 Posted Wednesday at 06:24 PM Puncture the metal use a small (1/8") flat blade screwdriver and tap the corner of it at an angle about centered between the case and shaft. It doesn't take much to puncture the metal and the seal will start rotating. I usually use diagonals as the hammer. 90% of the time it will start walking itself out. If it doesn't it will be loose and is easily hooked with a pick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
