    Thanks for your responses you guys.

    Trying to drill #24 in the pic.

    I know about the seal puller you guys have, but really, I am on the tail end of this hobby, old and kinda working my way out of it. I am replacing the seal on my personal FD-11 to enjoy it a little more before I take off, and do not plan to replace any more seals in the future, so drilling and using 2 long screws to dislodge works well I heard.

    If it’s not hard steel, guess my bits are too dull. Guess I will just go down and buy a new drill bit and try it again. Got a Drill Dr, but the bit is too small for it to sharpen.

    Thanks again,

    Doug
