Nice work !!
You can also just use the old oil seals to drive the new ones in. It's made easier if you take a light edge off them with a bench grinder first. If the old seal gets stuck in, drive two screws into the old seal and use a claw hammer to gently pry it out. Obviously use screws that are shorter than the overall depth of the old seal. |
