Final Drive Seal

[Stefan]

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,

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.
