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 come-a-long hook. Rubber end of course as to not damage the tranny. Then I stood on the side of the car and yanked on the strap until it popped out.
If you pry it out be careful not to scratch or gouge the tranny where the seal goes. |
