The snap ring that holds the roller bearings in place was a challenge until I discovered that I could fish an awl behind it, and the snap ring then came out easily.

I’m trying to get the grease seal out of the back side of the drum. I don’t have a grease seal puller. On other old cars, I’ve used a screwdriver (which always tears up the seal, but I normally replace the seals anyway).

So, what do you folks use for removing the grease seal?

I think what is being talked about the bearing is at the very bottom of the picture in post #5. There is some shinny or an optical illusion. Have you taken the bearing out yet?
