Now that's a job Chuck. It's good that you can figure things out and fix things. More work but you save a big labor cost if you had the dealer do the work.
Aircraft mechanic dittos. Nice job. Kept everything clean and didn't spare the assembly grease and oil. One of the more impressive how to vids I have seen on U-tube. Well done. Regarding that seal removal tool it is real easy to score the seal housing surface if you aren't careful. Snap ring pliers are one of the tools I don't try to save money on when I purchase them. No place for cheap Chinese. Best Regards.
Thank you very much. Definitely cautious about the with the seal housing surface. Seal is no good when the mating surface is junk. Sourcing a legitimate set of snap ring pliers. Don't use them much, but no sense fighting with a garbage set when you do need them.
