How to remove engine seals?

[Frankencelery]

I've finally stopped procrastinating on my ATC90 project. I'm replacing all the seals on the left side of the engine, since I have the cover off. The one I can't figure out is the shift shaft seal. With the shift shaft in the way, I'm not sure how to get it out. Has anyone ever done this?

Frankencelery is thats from veggie tails?

Yep, sure is. I watch VeggieTales with my kid. I think I like them more than he does! You're the only one who's ever known what that meant!

LMAO I have kids too!!!!! I though i knew that from somewhere it took me about a hour till i got it!!! thats funny

try useing a small screwdriver to work it out, i wouldnt worrie about ruining it if your going to replace it just dont marr up the case. maybe a pic and hook set would work too.

also you can try to drill a hole in it, then put a screw in there. then if you have a slide hammer. wale it out...

or just put an o ring hook in the hole you drilled.

good luck

Ok, I get the idea, but isn't the case right behind the seal? How would I drill a hole in the seal without drilling a hole through the case?

Now that song is in my head!

And on the seal note, Use a small screw driver, I used one and got it ok, Just be careful as well.:welcome:

if your going to drill a small hole in it be real careful the case is right behind it but its about 3/16ths to a 1/4 behind it dont push hard you just want to go through the outer edge of the seal
