Hi, i blew a cv on my 60 series, (no great surprise there) and the shards of metal have rendered my axle seal useless, i dont have a seal puller or nething fancy, i have basic tools and am just wondering if anyone has ne tips to get the seal out easily?

I've been known to use an allen key to lever them out with. Treat it with some marlin inner seals when you rebuild..

I have a great tool for installing the new seals again without damage to the seal itself. $25 for one, fully stainless steel.

the seals are easy to do.
to get it out cave the seal in from the inner part of the opening with a screw driver and hammer. just work your way around it. once it's caved in enough it will pry out easy with a screwdriver.
to put a new one in just use a socket the same size as the seal, with an extention bar, and tap it in with a hammer, making sure it goes in evenly.
If you have a bit of trouble getting the seal in evenly you can tap it in in a 12 oclock, 3, 6, 9 oclock rotation using a socket extension, or anything that is blunt (drift, you might have needed one for the cone washers?)
