stuck rope seal
By Steve - 05/20/2003 1:41:41 AM; IP 67.124.78.230
Please help! I'm attempting to replace the rear crankshaft "rope" seal on my '75 302 motor, still in the car. I've got a replacement neoprene seal kit. The upper rope seal is stuck, and I can't drive it out with a punch, even while rotating the crankshaft. The seal is just collapsing inside the groove. I've smashed it in about 1/2" so far on one end. What now? THANKS!
