deuce Inner wheel seal.

[Rocco]

Whats the best tool to remove the inner axle wheel seal?
gear oil was coming out of it so im trying to get it out.
All I have is a slide hammer.
You think i should heat it up?

Slide hammer usually works. Bjorn's method is to use a 6' long 1" dia. metal rod to pop the seal out from the opposite side, with the rod running all the way through the axle.

Yep... Tried and tested the Bjorn method... works wonderfully, just mind scoring the ID up...

I tried a slide hammer and couldn't get mine to budge.I have to use a 3/4" Black Iron Pipe run though the tube and a BFH to drive the seal and retainer out.Took about 2 solid hits with the hammer to pop them out..

I used a pipe and beat mine out through the hub.

Thanks,
I got it with slide hammer and torch.

If you still have a new seal in your hand can you please post the number so I can cross it for the parts section... I forgot to do that when I had mine loose...

Unless your doing both sides. The slide hammer keeps you from having to take the other side apart.

Nothing on the seal.
But heres all that it says on the bag it came in.

i put a piece of 1/2" x 1" Flat bar across the end of the axle sideways,
and used a Puller with the arms with the hooks out. a quick buzz with the impact, and its out.
i'd tried a bunch of other methods before i figured this out.

side note..........
has anyone tried the upgrade seals ? i got 4 this time, and then upgraded my rear axle to the 2" 47 Spline from OEM before i installed them,
so now i cant use the back two cause the ID is too small for the axle to go thru.
