Front main seal replacement

[LowTech]

I'm getting ready to replace my leaking front seal and I'm wondering if the pullers referred to in the TM are available as loaner tools from some place like Napa, or are they specialized tools for this motor?
And of course, any tips?

I replaced both seals. Remove both hubs wit axle on jack stands, wheels chalked, in gear.
I then used a long bar and knock out both seal holders from the opposite side through the front axle.

Easy peasey lemon squeezey.

Hope this helps

Thanks, but think we might be talking about different seals.
I'm going to be replacing the front engine seal, the one around the crank.

Op is talking about his MOTOR. Any huge 2 or 3 jaw puller should work. Use the crank bolt to draw the balancer back on the crank.

One word makes a big difference.

My bad good luck

If you spray "break free" or something on it and let it soak, and then if it doesn't slide off, make a puller by drilling 2 holes in a piece of 1/2" flat bar and put a length of cold roll or a socket (spacer)where the crankshaft bolt was. When you tighten the two bolts through the flat bar it will push on the "spacer" and pull on the damper.
