What's the best way to get the drive shaft seal out? I'm talking about the one in the gearbox that faces towards the timing belt end of the engne.
I've removed the axle and can stick my fingers into the gearbox, but I just can't pop the rubber seal out. Any ideas? I assume there's some sort of trick to it. Thanks. -------------------- |

I used a screw driver and sledge, but that was with it out of the car. If its in the car go to the autoparts store and rent a slide hammer. It will come out easy. Get the hook on the inside of the seal and pound it out.
You couldn't have pounded on them too hard, otherwise they would have broken. If they are in there tough you can just destroy the seal. All it is is thin metal/rubber/tightly wound spring. There's no sealant or anything. This post has been edited by czwalga: May 12, 2011 - 7:35 AM -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
