Need ideas Removing crank and Cam seals without Audi tool

[Tony Hoffman]

Steve, this is also what I do, I've used drywall screws in the past so I
don't have to drill, though. Either way, do it cautiously so as not to go
too far toward the edge, or you can damage the sealing surface. I've used
this method at least ten times, never had a problem.
