I need to know how to remove the sleeve and grease seal from the torque tube for the 1937 Ford PU driveshaft. Thanks

I have not replaced one of these in a long time but believe I used a old screwdriver blade to colapse it. Model T's have bearing shells like this for inner and outer axle bearings and there is a special tool, tube with a spring loaded button that you can slide in there, pop the button into a notch in the shell, twist and pull the shell out. Do not remember if the T. Tube sleve has a hole or notch in it but that would be a good too for someone to make if it does.

Thank you so much for your reply. I did use a screwdriver under the notch in the sleeve and took a solid 3/4" bar -8' long, and drove the seal and the sleeve out. The problem is fixed and I appreciate your answer.
