How the hell do you get this thing out. If tried screwdriver, scizzor trying to pry them. I dont want to mess anything up either. Cant find a How To on here. Its really starting to aggravate me.

Its a S13 SR.

Just replaced mine. I took a tiny flat-head oiled it up and tapped it with the hammer in between the seal and housing, then pried it up a bit to loosen it up. Took a needle-nose pliers and just yanked it out.

SLiDe_WaYz · 07-31-2011, 03:25 PM

Did you use a big socket to tap the new one in ?

KiLLeR2001 · 07-31-2011, 03:30 PM

That would be ideal. It's not what I did though. I just oiled it up good, put it on there straight and applied pressure evenly with my fingers little by little as far as it would go. Drove it around for a good 15 - 30 minutes, no leaks whatsoever.

I'll oil up a screw driver and try it out in a bit. I knew there was a simple way and I'm just over looking it.

Just be careful not to score the housing with the screwdriver, cause then it will leak. Once you get a good grasp on it with the pliers just yank it out with all your might... You may need to pry it in multiple spots to break the seal. GL.

with a Seal remover tool.

OR...bend a flat head screw driver's edge 90 degrees[one that's got a messed up tip preferred] and use that as a remover tool by yanking on it.

Got it with some oil and a tiny flat head screw driver, tapping the screwdriver with a rubber mallet. Only took a few min. Thanks for the reply's and tips guys.

X2, I was surprised this wasn't the first response. Once you've pulled a seal with one, you'll never mess with any other method. Not to mention, a seal puller is a convenient tool to keep around any garage.
