Well now that I know I can replace the stud at the back of this spare transmission, I set out to replace all the seals in it. Started with the hardest one - the input shaft seal. I've done one before successfully, but this one is a beehotch. I used a double hooked seal puller but only managed to rip through the metal 3/4 the way around the seal and it's currently still in there.
I have a PM out to the good Dr. for his ideas, but wondering if anyone else has any tips? I have a slide hammer somewhere, but not sure if I have the necessary attachment to adapt it to pull a machine screw if I drill through the seal. Not sure I really like the idea of drilling in that area anyway. Can the race surrounding the seal be heated with propane? I've heard it mentioned that at least some 901 boxes were magnesium and in that case, it's a definite no-no. The other though I had would be to take it to a nearby machine shop and see if they can pull it. I guess otherwise I have to pull the gear stack and drive it out from the inside? |

Can you pull off the side cover and push the seal out from inside the transmission?
I've also heard of people CAREFULLY running a screw into the seal, and then using that to pull the seal out. --DD |

Pull the side cover and with a long drift, pop the old seal out. Simple. Just remember to replace the large o-ring seal on the side cover. It is a good time to inspect at least one of the carrier bearings. |
