Default Re: Rear Axle Seal Removal

Bent piece of stiff wire. Slide it between the lip and axle, then work the seal out. What seal is in place now, leather, felt packing or other? If it is leather, the washer is just riding on the outside so should come off easy, there are bent fingers pressing the leather down to the shaft, so you will need to get the wire in a bit further. If felt, just push it in more, there still will be the washer to pull out first.
