Cutting off a nice chunk of 2.5" round aluminum. Length is not important but make it long enough to reach and push the seal.
1 hour of lathe work. I made a 2 sided tool for the seal on the motor and seals on the quill gear shaft.
The finished tool. This tool assures that the seals will not be damaged when pressing them into place. The small end is for the quill gear shaft seals and the large end is for the motor gear shaft seal.
Using the tool to remove the motor gear shaft seal.
Tomorrow: Dis-assembly of the quill and tapered bearings.
