Doing some research, cannot find anything on this Forum, found some related but not specific info on another Forum.
About a month ago I purchased from 45 Restoration their "Sprocket Shaft Sea"l kit for my 1946 WL. I am having some trouble finding some information on how to install in a built motor, still in the frame. I understand originally the oil slinger was installed when the cases where apart, but I believe it is doable with an assembled motor. Just looking for some tricks or tips before I get in there.
From my research I need to remove the clip, which I hear is a bear even with the cases apart, but it seems like persistence should win that battle. Clues would help if you have a process. The big question is removing the old oil slinger. Seems like it needs a puller to remove, and I read about drilling into it but now I am in the motor with metal shavings. Hoping someone has done it and found a good method. Pressing in the new seal appears to be straight forward, anything I should be worried about there? Depth into the case?
Hoping to tackle this project in about a week, all help greatly appreciated.
