I finally did remove the seal using a method similar to your description although the screw kept pulling out and I resorted to a small pry bar, a screwdriver, and a slide hammer.

It'd be nice if the manufacturer (or Pelican) provided instructions on how to use their product but I couldn't find any.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

with a Sir P 252 removal tool that I purchased here at Pelican? SIR P 252 The conical section has threads so I assumed I turned it to lock into the seal but the diameter is too large to go in far enough to latch on. Do I tap it in with a hammer? I don't want to damage any internals. It'd be nice if the manufacturer (or Pelican) provided instructions on how to use their product but I couldn't find any. Anyone used one of these tools? Thanks...

POST 2Original post

It is nice to have a tool like that. What I have done is to drill a small hole in the middle of the oil seal face, then screw in a sheet metal screw and then grab the screw with a pair of pliers and yank out the seal. I have never ruined the edges of the hole. Do be careful and use small bits.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, it would be nice if it actually worked as advertised. Unfortunately, although it resembles the factory Porsche tool, it doesn't work. The diameter is too small to engage into the seal and the depth the tool can be inserted is limited by the shaft bearing race that resides just beyond the seal. So the SIR tool could never be inserted far enough for the diameter of the tool to lock into the seal and allow it to be removed. I finally did remove the seal using a method similar to your description although the screw kept pulling out and I resorted to a small pry bar, a screwdriver, and a slide hammer. The tool might work if a portion of it were trimmed off so the starting diameter were larger but as is - it's worthless and a waste of $100.
