DaveT Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'm looking for the tool / tools to remove the camshaft seals, & front crank seal on a 2001 Forester. (actually, should work on any seal) I've searched online & forums a bit, not much luck other than pics for o-rings and rear main crank seals for engines w/split seals. I saw a mention of a tool from sears in a timing belt thread, but a visit to the sears website drew a blank. I have used pointy screws on other things sucsessfully, but there isn't enough metal around the edge to get a bite. Anyone have the name / model / etc of a good tool for this? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 NAPA or any quality auto parts store should have a seal puller. It looks a little like a claw hammer, handle with a single curved claw very skinny. I've also had good luck drilling a small hole in the seal and then threading in a screw far enough to pull the seal out with. There is less than a 1/4" of space behind the seal so you have to be careful but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
