Makeshift axle seal driver
Hey guys, I am changing the axle seals on an 8" Ford rear end. Got the old seal out just fine, now trying to get the new seal into the housing. I don't have a seal driver. Anyone have any good old shade tree methods for doing this? I already tried putting it in the freezer for an hour, that did not work. Tapping slowly around the edges didn't work either. I need something similar diameter to the seal. The seal is 2.25 in diameter.
Thanks in advance
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
