OK why do you have to tear down the bottom end. I have replaced this seal with no problem. You do need to pull the engine to do this but that is the worst part. #1 take the w/p cover off#2 remove w/p impeller#3 the seal will be exposed at this time just use some pliars and pull the rubber and spring off. sometimes this will just fall off #4 use a sharp screw like a drywall screw and tap it in the tin part beside the w/p shaft and turn in 2 or 3 turns just to get a good grip and pull stight out with it. sometimes you may need to put a screw on each side to do this and it will come out#5 while your in there you should also do the oil seal. Use internal snapring pliars , remove snap ring and use the same method on the oil seal for removal. #6 push well greased oil seal in with a socket about the same size as the outer part of the seal and push it in and reinstall the snap ring. #7 find a socket that fits over the w/p seal I think it is a 13/16th and tap in the new one.#8 install the new seal on the impeller be carefull not to scratch it and I use a drop of liquid soap for lubercation for the start up #9 install w/p impeller the bolt should be torqued to 8ft lbs then the cover your done. hope this helps.:typing:
