Blew out my output shaft seal this past week. Cyclepedia states with picture (below) to use a 'seal remover'. Have been searching but nothing to this point in locating one (Autozone/Harbor Freight/NAPA) or I/Cyclepedia has the terminology wrong. If there is another way without the tool that would also work.

That is a seal remover....

That is not a pic from my bike. That is the tool I'm looking for or another method so I don't tear up the case.

OOPS posted too quick.

Thanks Inda!

I will not admit to my lack of googling since being an IT engineer. I rather place the blame on the author from whom I took the information from of not providing the correct tool name for a successful google.

So, no one is going to admit to using a screw driver to pop'n the seal up enough to get a hold of it with a needle nose pliers???? Worked on a Yamaha I..............I mean, someone had.


Be gentile putting the seal back in press'n "evenly", they wont take any abuse. I used a large socket that matching the size as a driver.

So Jewish folks aren't allowed to replace this seal? Are they non-Kosher? Sorry, I had to beat CC to that one!

another kosher-approved method is just to drill a small hole in the seal face, screw in a sheet metal screw and pull the whole thing out with a pair of pliers - that method keeps the case surfaces relatively safe from gouging.

I didn't think of the tap/screw method, probably because i thought the width of the seal was to narrow to recognize that method(to scared to use the screwdriver method. Mite poke meself in the eye ) Suppose I'll just wait anyway since I ordered the puller, might as well get my $$$ worth since it more than likely will not be used again unless my father needs some type of rudimentary tool for birthing calf's since that is what it looks like.

I just used a dental pick to remove mine last time.

Ah.. cuz we all have one of those in our back pockets....

I used the screw method meself. I like to screw things.


Wait.. that came out wrong.


Oh well.

This is a weird place.

Not where I thought this post would lead to...

Hey, if your a healthy male all things lead in that direction.

Wait.. that came out wrong.

Then, you'd best put it back in.

Yes, yes. Where did that go again?? I should probably hope you don't answer that.

Anyway, now we have another good reason why I should not drink and post. Friends don't let friends post drunk!


On a more serious note, I would like to hear a report about how that seal puller works. I always seem to be that guy that makes do without the proper tools......

Every man needs a proper tool.

LOL. Are you drinking and posting as well?
