Folks
I'm in a bit of a bind trying to remove a magneto drive oil seal from my Ranger engine in my UC61K which was leaking and allowing oil to splatter the inside of the cowling.
Neither a puller, a slide hammer with a screw or a hook will touch it. The puller arms just spring out, the screw bows the outer rim of the seal and lets go, and the hook bows the outer rim more than the screw - probably 1940s glue!.
(tube is to prevent debris )
I've tried acetone and MEK to try releasing any adhesive that may have been used but it will not budge.
I do not want to do damage to any thing else so am trolling for any ideas as to what to try next.
Many thanks all
Frank
PS the Super Cub rebuild has just begun - all new Dakota Cub ribs - a well used Israeli Air Force machine!
