Re: Torque Tube Seal
I made a tool to remove that seal and the bearing sleeve at the same time. It's a two diameter pusher plug that fits into the ID of the seal, and the larger diameter just clears an internal shoulder that the seal locates against. The pusher plug has a hole thru it's center for a long length of 5/8" all thread rod. The all thread rod is long enough to exit the rear of the torque tube, and by hammering on the end of the rod, the seal and bearing sleeve are driven out the front of the torque tube. I've posted pictures of this tool on a thread here that had requested information on how to remove and replace the seals in torque tubes and axle housings. Pictures were also posted in a thread on tools that Barner's have made for working on these early Ford's.
