Transfer Box Oil Seal Puller

[Banshee]

Can somebody link me to a suitable puller up to the job of removing my transfer box oil seal, mine has developed a very very slow leak, so slow that it's yet to get any fluid on the drive :bow

I've got the new seal, just not really keen about screwing into the old one to yank it out

Ta!!!

Just reading the workshop manual and it states a "puller" I've had a look for oil seal pullers on eBay and the majority or them just look like large toothpicks :lol

The item pictured in the manual looks more like a bearing puller :nenau

Anyone got one at home that they've used before for this job?

What does the seal look like banshee
Is it similar to the pinion seal?


The seal is removed here and I used a tyre lever as it had a slight bend/hook on the end. The seal was in a metal retainer. The replacement actually said transfer seal on the packet.

Standard method of pulling a seal is indeed with a screw,do not drill a hole you may put swarf into the bearing, just get a sharp pointed screw and hammer it in to the first thread then screw it a turn or two then use something like a claw hammer to pop it out, Rick

You could probably make your own easy enough, some bolts of the appropriate length, a bit of flat bar or whatever you have laying aboot and your tap set :nenau

The screw method is for seals that are still in contact with the rotating part and so avoid levering out as could damage seal running surface, when you remove a part that rotates (with the seal running surface) there is usually plenty of room to use a screwdriver or the tool depicted earlier, it becomes more difficult the smaller the seal is, Rick

Right thanks Rick, might tackle this over the weekend :thumb2

This is identical to the pinion seal I've replaced 3 times in the last month:doh
I used a large tyre lever and worked my way round it gently.
This'll give you no problems Banshee:thumbs

Couple of tips pal, assuming it's the same or similar to a diff set-up. Not wanting to teach egg sucking though.
Take note of where the seal is sitting before removing it. On the diff, it is possible to push the seal in too far and partially block the oilway. There must be an oilway to allow the oil both sides of the bearing.
When putting in the new seal, use the old one on top to hammer onto.
There's an inny and an outy way too.
