Re: [Amc-list] rear main seal upper won't budge

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have access to compressed air, Use a small air blow gun and blow air around the main gasket to try to loosen it. Keep at it with your brass punch although I would prefer you use bronze. Tap it from one end to the other and it should work loose.
   Good luck.

  Hello,
I'm replacing the rear main seal on my 74 Cherokee,
360, and am having a lot of trouble driving the upper
part of the seal out from around the crank. I am
using a brass rod that fits well, and have all the
main bearing caps looosened a few turns. I've beat on
it for about an hour now, this sucker just won't
budge. The lower seal was very tight in the main
bearing cap. I REALLY don't want to pull the engine. 
Any advice, tricks, tips, or ideas?
Thanks
Steven Clark
