Method For Pulling Rubber-Lipped Oil Seals Out Of Vehicle Components
William Watner, St. Marys, Kansas: “I came up with a method for pulling rubber-lipped oil seals out of vehicle components, like a rear main seal or a pinion seal on a differential.
  “I took a screw with aggressive threads, like a sheet metal screw, and welded it to the end of a slide hammer. To pull a seal, I sharpen a small diameter punch to a sharp point and use it to poke a small hole into the metal part of the oil seal. Then I thread the screw on the tip of the slide hammer into the hole, making sure there are no clearance issues behind the seal. Once the screw is threaded in securely, I use the slide hammer to pull the seal out. It’s a very quick and easy method.”
