I’ve watched countless diy videos and none are presented the way you did. Basic info is given and the explanation was clear and easy to understand. Amazing !
I tried that on my transmission seal that where the driveshaft goes into it. Screw pulled out so I used a slightly larger screw. That screw pulled out too. Fortunately there was enough of a lip on the seal sticking out where I used a flathead screwdriver and hammer to pop the old seal out myself.
Thanks so much for your video and the others, It gave me the confidence to change the cam belt and how to to get the crankshaft seal out, all was successful and the car is mint now, I think you saved me thousands, cheers mate👍
You're welcome, P Ash. Thank you for leaving such a nice comment. It's wonderful to hear the videos helped you. Yep, you save a lot of money when you DIY. Happy DIYing!
Wayched more than i "meant to" as your demeanor, voice, etc reminds me so much of seejanedrill lol. I am literally scrollingvtrying to find tricks on zr2 front mains but theyre all: 1.Drop Diff ..... yeah, if i was going to do that id have replaced my pitman a year ago when the USMC "mechsnic" i paid to do it failed miserably. Ill just end up doing it hanging upside down from my A-Frame engine hoist lol. Good video. I use self tappers on wheel seals all the time, as it takes 13 seconds instead of following mack volvo impact protocol which takes 30 minutes...
Finally found my seal puller and I was able to bend the outer lip out all around but the seal wouldn't budge. Phone says it's 99 outside. I'm in a metal building with an industrial fan blowing. This is long sleeves weather. Actually cooler on hot days with long sleeves and a wide hat than short sleeves. Anyway that seal had been in there 32 years and it wasn't budging. I went to my 3/4 in sockets stuff and found a socket that fit the backside of the seal and then hammered it out. 1 13/16. I knew when I kept them I'd need them and I've used them several times. I wish I had thought about the chop saw, the torch tip and hoses, and the transmission jack but that's hindsight. Now for some Emory cloth to clean up the inside. *Emory cloth or 1000 grit wet or dry sandpaper or Scotch Brite or 3M... I'm going to use what I use and it's already perfect.
Thank you so, so much for this video! Most of the videos showed people taking the whole oil pump out and I felt so relieved when I saw how easy you made this look. Plus points for the southern accent, it makes the video even better haha. Cheers!
Excellent tutorial. Will be doing this on my BMW E34 M50 tomorrow. Everything is ready, just need to carefully remove the seal. I've done it on my BMW E39 a few years ago but came here to refresh my memory.
I don't think so. Those seals are in there pretty darn tight. The method we used allowed us to drill into the metal band and get some "bite" to pull the seal out.
You're welcome, Noey--always! I have great respect for you doing the work on your vehicle. You save bunches of money and can retire earlier. Proud of you kiddo. ;)

Great video on installing one of these told me exactly what I needed to know without a bunch of useless stuff leading up to the instructions. Thanks!
Nicely done. That’s the way an instructional video should be made. Thank you.
You're welcome, Daniel, and thank you for the thoughtful comment you left. It really means a lot to me.
Very clear and understandable.

Nice video well explained, and no nonsense. I have a 87 Honda Accord, but the principles you showed, will work on my car. Thanks
Thank you, B Dubs, for the nice comment. I'm glad the video helps you change the seal on your car. Best of luck with your project.

Hello, how was the crankshaft pulley removed?
Hello, KG. It was removed by the bump start method. Here's a link to my video on it: th-cam.com/video/wG3SZ6PecbA/w-d-xo.html
@@frugaldiy1 Thanks, now I watched the video, very useful
;)
Thank you so much I was struggling with a transmission seal this morning on my Jeep and then I used this method it worked first time you saved my day.

I found the old thrust bearings were the perfect size to drive in the new seal
Excellent. Thanks.
Thank you, Logan 15, and you're welcome. Merry Christmas!

Thank you, Eaglerider94. It's a fun project. Enjoy! ;)
You're brilliant. Thanks for the idea
You're welcome, and thank you for the lovely compliment. Happy DIYing! ;)
Excellent detailed explanation
Smart
Thank you, hasan.
@@frugaldiy1 is it possible to pull it usin a pick hook tool?
I don't think so. Those seals are in there pretty darn tight. The method we used allowed us to drill into the metal band and get some "bite" to pull the seal out.
Thank you ladies. Your attention to detail, and sharing all the very important and necessary steps is astonishing. Really appreciate these videos.
