Yeah, seems like it might be an idea to buy a few seals. How much can they be. In other news, I just ordered a seal puller. Something I thought I had but didnt
I also had to buy one. I think the seals are like $8 a pc and im almost certain this is the park number. T3600705.
When I was doing it I was using the puller like a pry bar and using the real pointy end. I think next time I'll try to catch the lip and just pull on it rather than doing the action you would if you were pulling a nail with a claw hammer Like I was.
i have dent/seal pullers and what you can do is put washer with a nut on the end of it.
you insert the washer (a little smaller than the seal) so you are using about 30 percent pull on the seal and that usually saves the seal in case u can not buy one.
if there is a spring on the seal (and it comes off) then you can put it back on and put some light grease on the spring and it won't fly off when using a seal driver.
