Fishfiles 20,145 Posted August 31, 2020 A few ideas on removing the seal , a oil seal removal tool works well , or a big screw driver or pry bar , or drill a hole into the seal , screw in a screw and use a slide hammer or vise grip that screw and yank , pry and beat the vise grip to get it out , another method would be to use a screw driver and a hammer to bend the end of the seal in , then get the screw driver in the gap and pry out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RanchHand420 30 Posted August 31, 2020 Nice. thanks fishfiles. Kinda used all all the tips you gave me and got it out. Ready to slide in a new seal. But one more thing is it a bad idea to flush it out with some desiel or leave it a little goopy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RanchHand420 30 Posted August 31, 2020 Ok leaving it be. I was having trouble breaking the other bolts loose on the diff. Aniway. Otherwise i probably would have done a total rebuild. Ill just put it back together when i get the new seal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
