Does anyone know a good way to change the selector rod seal on the tail shift transmission? I want to change the oil seal. I removed the plate below the rod, and i see what appears to be a dowel pin holding the rod in place but the selector rod will not rotate enough to get a clear shot to hammer out that pin. Any thoughts?

Since the transmission is out the rear cover is easy to remove, pull off the cover, keep all the parts in order.
Once the shift rod is disengaged the pin can be rotated and immobilized for removal. Pin is a standardized part.

Thank you for your help! Do you know if it is common for the seals to go bad and leak on these transmissions? Just trying to make up my mind if i should replace it or not. I bought a complete seal/gasket kit...

Sorry i meant to say the shift rod seal in particular. I have already replaced the other three exterior oil seals. Thanks!
