How do I get the input shaft seal out of the transmission? The input shaft gets in the way of applying an leverage.
Thanks, Dan |

Joe,
I'm just replacing the seal, the transmission is still together and I do not have plans to take it apart. Thanks, Dan |

Just the input seal?
I did all of mine when I resealed it. You know "while you're in there." I am pretty sure I pushed it out. The question becomes, how do you press it back in with the input shaft there? Assuming you get the old one out, how will you make sure you get the new one in right? That's why I think I did mine with the input shaft out. Others will know better than I. |

This tool is what I'm using and am having difficulty getting leverage with the input shaft in the way, I guess I have to try harder. Thanks, Dan |

You really need to jam the hook in there deep. Just be careful not to push the seal inside. It's one of those things that is tricky the first time, but each time is gets easier.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That seal can be really difficult to remove. Be careful not to gouge the mainshaft or the case.

The seal puller works great but you can also screw a sheet metal screw into the seal and use pliers to pull it out.

I've used a long 1/4" flat blade screwdriver successfully for about 40 years. The Cap'n

Ive done that more than once (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That's how I did it today. The "seal" actually is largely metal - drill a pilot hole (being careful not to drop metal shavings into the guts of the tranny) then insert a screw on your slide hammer, bang, bang, and it pops right out:  Installing the new one is as simple as finding a piece of pipe the right size to use as a drift:  Per Dr. Evil in a different thread, you just need to get it in far enough that the release bearing guide tube can be installed flush.
