Hey there guys, when removing the rear seal on a k-50 gearbox, what have people used to get the mother trucker out, i heard someone say once that a big fish hook would work, alas i don't have any of those :jamie:

 

Any other common household items?

 

Cheers, Steven

what about a screw driver to get behind it and pry it out?

 

you can buy a tool, its like a small screw driver except it has a 90 degree bend with a point at the end, that the best thing for seals usually. I'm guessing thats what its made for :jamie:

i used a seal puller, came straight out

i used a seal puller, came straight out

ill buy a seal puller after work today :jamie:, cheers guys

tell me if it's worth it, mines absolutely munted too haha

The metal cover thing that is attached to the rear of the extension housing can easily be tapped off. Gives you much easier access to remove the seal with just a screwdriver.

sweet got it out using some weird hooky thingy i found in my toolbox, now ive replaced with a new seal, its almost entirely in place....but i can't get the seal the remainder of the way in. So far i have just placed the old seal over the top and tapped it with a mallet................now it doesnt seem to wanna go any further!!, what methods have u guys used to do this??

 

cheers, steve
