Jeff,
Pardon the dumb question but can you slightly knotch the studs and insert
slotted screwdriver and back them out? Bob

The good news: The removal and installation of the input shaft seal went exactly as Mark descibed. Piece of cake. Thanks again Mark! The bad news: since I had the tranny out, I decided to clean up the housing a bit. I had the tranny nudged over on it's side and gear oil just started pouring out the output shaft seal. Looks like this one is bad, too. I guess this explains all the goo inside my CV joint boot. It looks like a PO filled the tranny WAY past full and I'm guessing this was too much for the seals to bear. It looks like the rear seal is a bit harder to do than the front, but it's better than the alternative :(. Oh yeah, even more bad news. four of the studs that hold the tranny to the engine were stripped -- the nuts were epoxied(!) on. I have a feeling I'll have quite a time getting the studs to unscrew from the engine case. I have a feeling that by the time I get it back together I'll have either repaired, replaced or fixed every square inch of it. :) --j ============================================================ ATTENTION Email Publishers!
