In the Torque Tube . . .
At the front of the torque tube, behind the speedometer drive gear, there is a roller bearing and the bearing sleeve and a seal. The seal seems to be held in place by the bearing sleeve.
I need to change the seal. What method do you use to remove the seal and the bearing sleeve? I appreciate your suggestions. Thanks, Steve |

Re: In the Torque Tube . . .
I use a drive shaft I have with bad threads on the end and a socket that will just fit on the splined end of the drive shaft and drive them out by tapping the drive shaft on a hard surface. Works nearly every time. Rod

Re: In the Torque Tube . . .
In case it wasn't clear, what Rod is describing is coming in from the back side and pushing out the seal which of course also pushes out the sleeve.

I employed your method - It work well and nothing was damaged in the process. I used a length of pipe rather than a old drive shaft. Now a new seal and we're back in business! Thank you both. |
