Re: Rear Hub Grease Seal Removal Tool
I use a KR Wilson BV81 hub seal/bearing remover tool. There are no current reproductions made. I've thought about reproducing it as it has been incredibly handy throughout the years. There was one for passenger car and light truck and another 3 legged one for large truck.
In lieu of the KRW tool I like Tom's pry suggestion best. I've seen many bearings ruined by folks who pry on the upper bearing cage. some put screws into the seal and use a puller or pry as well. some seals come easy, some hard. I find that sometimes some of the repro seals are to large on the OD and need to be surfaced down for a better fit. For the installer tool for the seal Jeff at Brattons attended one of my KR wilson seminars back in 2014 and he now has a new version for sale.
I believe they still have them available
