Is the seal broken up all around ? Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Clutch shaft seal broken off inside housing??, 88'TurboC, Sat, 24 May 2003 13:21:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It's not enough clearance going through the front of transmission to punch the seal out, so save your energy on that. Especially if the lip of seal is destroyed all around.
Try to find a center punch, about 5/16 in diameter. Grind the tip into a 45 degree angle. Place the punch between the aluminum housing and the remains of the seal with the 45 degree slope toward seal.
Try to angle the punch up and away from aluminum housing so that the punch acts more onto the seal than carving a groove into the aluminum.
Hit the punch with a hammer and try to deform the seal toward its own center. This usually makes the seal a tad smaller and you can pry it out with a screwdriver.
