Flywheel spacer removal.

[Barbees5]

I'm trying to replace the rear main seal on my '92 Ex. I've got the trans out and the flywheel off but I can't get the spacer off to get to the seal. Do I need a puller or what?

Never mind I got it.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread to the transmisson section.

Well, how did you do it?

Buy the Sonnax billet steel spacer. It's much better than the OEM powdered iron spacer. Your vehicle uses the one with 6 holes.

I used my other hand and pulled harder. Only downfall was my hand hit the firewall tunnel, after three days my thumb still hurts

I know how that is. I've only actually realized that pulling toward an object is bad once. The other times, I do the same thing you did. I actually have a scar on the top of my left hand from trying to get a bolt loose on my brothers Jeep.:thumbdwn: Needless to say, it came loose once I had all my force on it!

I know an old timer who wraps his hand with a rag every time it could slip and hit something like that. His hands aren't torn up. Mine look like they've been through a meat grinder after all these years.
