Clutch job

[L DC]

Hi again Kneale.

Yes, the flange seals can be replaced with the tranny
in place. But obviously a lot easier while tranny is
out since one is not constricted by space.

The tranny in my QSW was literally cover with sludge,
dried and semi-dried, as thick as 1/4 inch, so there
was no guessing about changing the seals.

Don't hesitate to get that Advance Discount Auto Parts
pilot bearing puller loaner if your method is futile.
I think it was $34 bucks while in my possession, which
I got back provided you return the tool before 30 or
45 days.
