The torque convertor and final drive seals are easy to pop out and tap in
gently with a hammer..sounds caveman, but that's what I have done for years.
Governor seal is a bugger as it sits way down inside and I made a shaft on
the lathe to press them in. On all seal that you tap in, it is wise to fill
the inside lip where the little spring sits with grease so when the seal is
tapped in the spring wont get dislodged.
If your going to split the diff/trans sections to do the 2 back to back
seals, then you better call me first. Not hard, but there are some things to
be careful with.

Now that we've established what seals there are, does anyone have any
experience installing them? I'm trying to decide if I can do this with an
improvised press or if I'd be better off having a shop do it.

Cya,
