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

Probably a little late, but I use the thinnest, longest screwdriver (about the diameter of eyeglass repair kit drivers) to pry it loose from the block, then tap it out.

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
