Some excellent tips you've offered. I've never used the "right stuff", but sounds like an excellent idea. I would also suggest a thin coating of oil on the inside of the seal where it contacts the crankshaft to prevent possible damage on initial startup.
Great video and narration.. thanks for making it. You seldom find good videos that are to the point and offer tool ideas on how to actually do the work. I’m sure this video has saved many people a lot of headaches from replacing this seal another way . Great job
You're giving bad advice here. You're talking about not worrying about scratching the outside of the oil pan and not worrying about scratching the end of the crankshaft that's beyond the seal. But the activity you are referring to is taking the seal out, and during that time the seal is pushed in further and using any type of a steel utensil against it risks scraping the crankshaft at a point where it actually IS VERY relevant, it also risks scraping the oil pan/block on the outside edge of the seal, not outside of where the seal sits but behind where the seal sits. When you jab something into that seal and you hit metal, there's a very high likelihood that you nicked one of the two sealing surfaces. So don't tell people it's okay to go ahead and jab a screwdriver in there and give them the illusion that they're not harming the surfaces that matter because with the seal installed, the surfaces it touches matter very much.

Its a windsor btw lol
super helpful! exactly what I needed for my 84 f150
Well the problem is not the actual seal, its dropping the whole transmission. That's why its complicated
Part number of the seal?

Why didn't you show us install it.
great video and helpful tip for a seal driver, thank you
do you have a video on dropping the transmission?
Thank you for the insightful video 👍🏼
Thanks for posting!
