Primary Gear Oil Seal/Flywheel Housing Oil Seal

[Rowls Mini]

Are the special tools noted in the Rover Service manual and in Haynes required to remove the oil seal and install a new one, or are the Haynes alternates okay?

The SAMOA library has the 18G1043 seal tool as well as the 18G1068B primary gear puller. Just don't ask me how they work.

Lisle brand seal puller #12660. Using a tool would be the best way to install one but it could be done by lubricating it with soapy water or Windex, setting it in place, then evenly tapping around the diameter until it is fully seated.
