Replacing the 2 piece rear main seal on a 72 402. Original seal. Pan is off, oil pump off, and rear main cap off. Any tricks to pushing the old seal out? According to most on Youtube, etc, it is a simple process, just push it out......not so easy for mine. I have ordered a Lisle 27000 Sneaky Pete Tool off amazon in case, but not positive this will help. Thoughts or voices of experience?
