Rear Seal Removal - Early Models
Remove seals using Puller Bridge, P/N 432127,
and Small Puller Jaws, P/N 432131. Position the
plate on top of the housing to support the bridge,
and tighten jaws securely behind the inner seal.
If necessary, use an electric heat gun to warm the
housing to aid in seal removal.
Rear Seal Removal - Late Models
Late models use a retaining ring to improve seal
retention.
Insert the blade of a small screw driver between
the notch in the retaining ring and the bearing
housing. Turn the screw driver to move the end of
the retaining ring from its retaining groove. Use a
curved pick to work the snap ring up from the
retaining groove. Remove the snap ring.
