| Don't know without seeing it. But there are seal pullers, available at auto parts stores, or use a sharp flat head screwdriver and puncture the steel outer edge and lever it out. |
|
| Or drill a small hole in the metal part, run a screw in it and use the screw to pull the seal. Walt Conner |

| Hi, I just changed my crankshaft seals on my B&S V Twin 18 HP 350777 1137 E1. I followed the manual and repair instructions which said to use a big flat screwdriver under the seal to pry it up. The instructions also said to be careful not to damage the bearings. I used a rag under the screwdriver so I would not mark up the oil pan. It does take some slow and steady force but it does come. Good luck |

| Whatever method you use to extract the old seal, be careful not to scratch or gouge the bore the seal seats in. A good scratch or gouge to that surface and the new seal will leak where it fits to the cover. If you DO make a scratch, or find a scratch, coat the outside diameter band of the seal with Permatex # 2 sealant (or equivalent product) before installing the new seal. |

| I used the small hole and screw method that Walt Conner suggested . It popped right out and the seal replaced in less than 5 Min. Thanks for all the suggestions , I will put them in my Small Engine note book. |

| Thank you for updating about the final results. Good luck to you. |
