pulling injection pump shaft seal

[92EcoDiesel Jetta]

Anyone know the best way in pulling the injection pump shaft seal please post pics of the tool you use and tips and tricks. Is there a special tool for such a small seal? The shaft is 17 mm diameter and the seal is about 1/4 inch wide.

notch an old flathead screwdriver on the side so it becomes a small pry.

Works a charm.

What are you prying against? More details please! Any pics or videos of the proedure?

OK I figured it out! The crucial thing is to support the screwdriver so it is not prying against the seal itself! I used a big box wrench.




Here's what my modified screwdriver looks like. A bit out of focus. A long screw driver helps with leverage. The one I used is about 12"


Cleaning up the shaft sealing surface before the new seal goes in.

Are you using the Greesel compatible seal for your new one ?

You mean Viton? No they're BNR which should be ok.
