water pump seal replacement
I got my stuff back from the machine shop and got the top end put back together. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Now i'm changing the waterpump seal and i'm having trouble getting the old seal out. I seem to remember running a screw into it to pull it out last time i changed it but, I think I changed the oil seal behind it last time also. Can I still do that or will I likely hurt the oil seal?

I kept messing with it until I got the brass (or copper?) piece of the seal out by prying the little lip around the edge inward until it loosened up enough to come out. I used a small flat head screwdiver and a small piece of rubber between the screw driver and the case as to not scratch or scar it up and it eventually came right out. I did look through over forums and apparently there's a special tool for this. I never saw a picture or part number but a bunch of folks kept saying there is one. Hope this helps somebody else down the road!
