Aloha to Belgium--not that I know a lot about it but when I did mine I had the same problem and trying to work inside the car was a pain, lots of them, so what I did was make something like what a body shop would use, called a slide hammer, take a 1/2 rod about 4 feet long, heat and flatten one end, then heat it again about an inch back and bend it a little more than 90 degrees so that it will fit inside the seal, thread the other end just a bit, slide something like a heavy sleeve or piece of pipe, put a washer and nut on the end and you have a Cajun double lip seal remover--confused yet?? fotos if needed--Ken</font>

What is the easiest way to remove the double lip oil seals
(part 2-17-12) from the tranny via the outside ?
Do I need a special tool ?
Thanks,
Willy from Belgium

If you can mail me a picture to willy-linda@pandora.be it would be
nice .
Is it possible to damage the inner lips from the tranny ?

Thanks,
