Reply To: Seal Removal

[Don]

Good work! Dave Bono made me a few seal pullers that work with a two piece collet that fits under the upper metal seal housing once the rubber is removed. There is a threaded bolt that draws the seal up into a cylinder….Works well, but even this sometime takes a few tries because the darn seal housing just bends upward allowing the collet to pop out….
The only thing I am convinced of is that the slide hammer methods usually just end up bending the lip upwards until you have nothing left to work with…
Those 10hp upper bushing seal assemblies are getting harder/more expensive to find, so I’m glad you saved it successfully…
