Default Transmission Front Seal Kit

Installed this kit from Snyder's today p/n A-7112-S.

The instructions didn't say you had to be ambidextrous and have long, thin, strong fingers.

Best tool combination for the bolts: 3/8" drive 5/8" socket, 3/8 male x 1/4" female adapter, 1/4" drive ratchet.

Changed the grease fitting on the t/o bearing to modern type while I was there.

Good on you if you did that through the inspection cover hole.

Yes, through the inspection cover hole. Removed the top part of the transmission. That made it easier.

It is more difficult, but can be done through the inspection cover. I held the bolt with a long handled magnet,and started the threads with my fingers. Worked OK, but was not an easy install.

PATIENCE!

It can be done, just do not rush the job.

I did it on my Tudor with out removing the trans top.

I did remove the front seats which made life a lot easier.
