Tools: Seal Puller and Installer

[tallgrass55]

I have a M8B Tohatsu and I am rebuilding the water pump and want to replace the oil seal directly below the waterpump.

Q.Where I can find an appropriately sized seal puller and seal installer?

Thanks

Brad

Re: Tools: Seal Puller and Installer

That seal can be pulled with a generic small seal puller from an auto parts house. Or, if you're reasonably careful, you can use an appropriately-sized flat screwdriver (appropriately shaped to fit down into the cavity below the water pump) to carefully pry it out. You can install the new seal by driving it in with a hammer and a brass drift of appropriate size, of in a pinch, a socket from your set will do just fine.

Thanks for advice! I finally pulled that ole prop seal out and put a new one.
