I was planning on replacing the seal on the fan side of the main shaft but I am having some trouble getting the fan hub.
For now, I have applied some penetrant liquid on it and I will let it soak some time, but then, what is the best way to get it off. Lightly prying it off going around? I guess that a puller would be useful, but I only have a very large puller that does not fit there. Can I apply some heat in trying to get it off? Any other tricks or advice? Thanks  |

I've got a 40 years old "Matco" version of that. Mine came with two mandrels: one long, one short. The long mandrel might have trouble with clearance in chassis. That seal and the surrounding fan shroud make that job difficult enough that I would most likely pull the motor. Most of the time, by the time you are having trouble with the front seal, you should replace multiple rubber pieces (like the oil cooler seals) and pulling the engine makes more sense in my book. Once out all this junk gets easier... And a real puller becomes "the way"... |
