Drive shaft oil seal removal tool

[Beakster]

Hi,

I need to change my drive shaft oil seals on the gear box.  Can someone point me to a good tool on ebay or Amazon which works well for this job?  I've seen lots of different types online so really just looking for guidance as to what type works best for these particular seals.

Thanks

You need one of those generic double hook jobbies, all the same

I've seen mechanics use a self tapping screw carefully installed in the seal. Then pulled out with pliers.

You've got to be quite lucky with that technique, if the seal has a decent fit in the bore the screw just rips out. Been there, under the car, stopped the job, bought the tool, waited for delivery...happy days.
