I do not know if these seals were ever replaced but I do know they are leaking. With good advice from RTowle, I ordered the replacements and took a shot at replacing today.

I am not sure how to get the old seal out without damaging the sealing bore. I expected them to come out easier than I experienced, so before I mess something up I thought I would ask how you have done it.

Thanks

Are you referring to the output shaft seals? If so: I've heard using a dental pick is supposed to work, but it didn't for me. They were stuck in there too tight. So I did what some others recommended. I very carefully drilled a bit of a hole in the seal and then sunk a sheet metal screw in it. Then I used the other end of a claw hammer to get leverage and pull it out.

I use a large flat head screw driver being very careful not to scratch the surface they mount against.
Slowly pry it around the edge till you find a weak spot, then work on that area till it gets high enough up to grab it or get under it from outside.
