I'm trying to replace the leaking front pinion seal and t-case front output seal. I've pulled the front shaft, removed the staked nuts, flange and deflectors but can't get the old seals out. Any tips? I posted on 'Mud but haven't got a response yet and I'd like to get this thing back together ASAP. Thanks. .....Steve
I don't have a seal puller but maybe I'll run out and grab a set of them. I didn't really pry that hard yet because I didn't want to screw it up. I have a set of FSM's on order but until they show up I'm running blind. ......Steve
cheap seal puller and set of seats are worth they're weight in gold.
ive got about 25 bucks in mine (together) and might possibly love them more than my big flat face snap ring pliers. might.
I ended up punching a hole in the seal face (metal) and pulling it out with pliers. I couldn't pound it in or pry it out no matter how hard I tried. The joys of a 30 year old vehicle I guess. I did manage to get it in after some careful tapping and a bit of grease. Now I just need one more seal then I'm on to the rest of the leaks. 10 down, about 10 to go.
