They won't go round without the tool to pull them, and you can't use the tool with a standard length seal, so not worth trying.lhubbard wrote: Is it worth trying one of the seal halves see if with the engine rotating that will go in?
....Because, unless the O/P is the world's luckiest man, it's scarcely worth the risk of having a tab fracture which could allow that journal's shells to run. When I was doing my training with International Motors back in the '80s, we were taught never to re-use shells for that very reason. I know that many people get away with it but even with the current cost of decent shells being quite high, I wouldn't take a risk like that.TerryG wrote:.....If the shells that are in there look OK, why change them?
