Re: Ok. Maybe the screwdriver was a bad choice

There is an actual tool for that purpose… it is alos intended to do the upper drive shaft seal I believe… I bought mine from Frank Robb. He and I had the same issue, in as much as it is like pulling a seal from the upper crank shaft, this application that shaft is removed then the seal is pulled. So here is the problem. the puller itself has what one could call massive teeth, but only a couple and they break very easy. The one O bought from Frank had one broken grabber, and I got oh so lucky to be perusing Ebay and found an OEM one.

I would think a guy could make a fixture to use a normal seal puller to remove them. Can ya tell I have thought about this?
I suppose I should get into this further and see what can be done as these are more of a pain than the crank shaft seals..

I can post pictures tonight if anyone is interested…
