Hopefully I'm allowed to post this here. I'm not being paid to write this, but I feel like Sgt Gator needs a shoutout for providing such a great (and cheap at $15) tool to install differential, cam, and crank seals.

Did cam seals and timing. Well, almost. I found that the rear timing cover was cracked and I am going to replace it before putting my new belt on. Cam and crank seals well well, especially thanks to my fancy seal install tool, courtesy Sgt Gator. Thanks man!

It also even slides the crank gear on nicely. This thing fits everything! 10/10 would buy again. Word of caution: use a rubber mallet; I chipped a piece off using a regular hammer. It is a very cool tool and I will not being doing seals without one lying around.

That's the tool I used to install the transaxle side oil seals, plus I got the seal protector that also worked very well.

Thanks Ya'll!
I'll add a note in the box about using a rubber mallet only.
Thanks again.

No, thank you Gator! I love the tool and I love supporting fellow members. I expect I'll do a write up for the axle insertion tool once I use it

No Product page. Maybe someday. I'll send you a PM with details.

Here's a couple of links in the community:
