1990 Ford 1720 4wd Knuckle seal

[John Knoble]

Hi All!

I just received my lower knuckle seal from Messick's.

Looking for easier way to remove the seal from the housing so i don't muck up the casting where it's housed.

I found a socket that will be used to replace the seal and hoping to use my 20 ton press to install it.

Have a HF seal puller but guessing it's gonna take a little more than $10 puller.



Thank you and stay safe!

Shouldn't take much more than that. I changed dozens and dozens of steering swivel seals on everything from a 1210 to a 2120 and never used anything more than a seal puller or rolling head pry bar to jerk the seal out.
