• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

TE/TC TX300 Water Pump Seal Advice?

I'm getting a small amount of milky white goop in my oil. It mostly accumulates in the underside of the oil filler cap. But there were a few drops in the oil last time I dumped it. So I ordered a oil seal kit from Slavens. Looks like it comes with a seal and new cover gasket.

But my service manual does not show any replacement procedure for the seal.

After taking off the impeller, how do you pull your seal out without damaging anything?
Or should I be pulling the entire clutch case to do the job?
 
you can snag a seal out with picks etc., but of course best to do it on the bench after pulling the case cover. PS the are seal removal tools that cut thread into the seal then you use a puller to yank them out. add some heat before trying to pull.

Thanks! I noticed that the inner-most part of the seal (the part that is right up against the shaft) was all rubber, with no metal behind it. I was able to pick a small notch out of it to get in behind the metal in the seal. But the seal was so tight (even with heat) that it bent my pick. But I was able to stuff a flat head screw driver behind there and it popped right out.
