old school gm tech showed me this trick years ago .


NOTE : orignal poster never said if input or output seal tho .

Not hardly.....I was referring to the input shaft. I too know many shortcuts that I have learned and USED with great success, that so called shortcut works about a third of the time but you ALWAYS get the MESS.
No thanks
