For some time now i have had a leak, effectively slinging GL5 rust proofing under the tub and creating a wonderful aroma as it cured on the hot exhaust pipe. i was aprehensive at first but after consulting the manual (i do have one BW) i decided to give it a shot. Our good friend Cap'n Lee sent me some handy tools from the peoples republic of Minnesota. Yoke tools and the most handy willys service tool seal puller. The yoke and seal were pulled in short order. The trick with the seal puller is to tighten it as tight as you dare, as you apply pressure to the push bolt the barrel will loosen some as it tries to pull out, simply keep tightening the barrel. piece o cake.

To tap in the seal i cut a chunk of 3" alum irrigation pipe, it fit very snugly inside the seal lip. Attachments:

all surfaces clean and mating surfaces coated with a thin coat of P-2, the seal tapped in firmly but without fuss. Attachments:
