Well, this is where I’m at. It’s pretty ugly. I’ve spent probably at least 4hrs using a small punch and screwdriver to try and collapse it back in on itself. I think it’s the original seal, because the new one doesn’t seem to have a double wall.
I got the inner cup/ring out finally, but the outer part that actually seats in the housing is still stuck. Miraculously, I don’t think I damaged the inner wall of the housing. I’m giving up for now. I like Jim’s idea about cutting it out on a lathe. Have to wait until I get back to work next week though. What a PITA! 😡
Thanks I appreciate all the suggestions. It still was something that had to be done, as when I took the gearcase apart, there was water in it.
