    I cannot seem to get this final drive seal on my transmission. I wanted to use a socket and hammer it in, but I do not own a big enough socket to do so. It seems like the 36x60x45 seal I have tried using was too large, and subsequent seals that I have bought have not fit either. I bought some 36x60x36 seals to try again for the third time.

    I want to know if I am doing something wrong here. Anyone replaced these seals? Any suggestions or seals to try?

    thanks,
    -S

    Want to reply to myself in case it helps anyone in the future.

    The seal needs to be the right size: 36x60x9.5 worked much easier than the other larger types I tried.

    Anything large enough to encompass the seals diameter will work to hammer on. I used a spool of soldering wire, but even a specific seal drivers can be bought at Harbor Freight for around 30 dollars.
