Hi all just though I'd share a pic of the tool I just made from an old can of spray adhesive and the old primary gear oil seal (perfect ) saved my self a few quid and always hand for the future

is it my eyes, or have you fitted the oil seal the wrong way round?
or, are you using one seal the wrong way round, to protect the other seal thats the right way round?

Yes the old seal is the wrong way around and fits perfect and tight over the end of the can and is the perfect surface to push against the new seal as its the same size

In the 60s ,rather than buying the original tool, the guys used to use a YOGART CONTAINER, Best eat the yogart first, then wash out, now thats cheap , i think all the Yogart containers are quare nowadays and a lot smaller ,so maybe won't do the job

I like to save some money on something that will rarely get used like the old yoghurt pot idea plastic must have been a lot stronger back in the day
