tried the heat lol....i have a thing of map gas....still no go....I talked to my old boss late last night asking him about it, and he told me to try again.....hes the type to keep making you do it until you get it...and if worse comes to worse he'll come to my house to help me, but he wants me to get it, he said i have free reign to use his tools, so hopefully today after court i can get it running and finally hit the trails....since its 7:48 a.m. and its already 70*

Are you putting the seal driver on the lip of the seal or between the rubber and the outer edge (on the flat spot).
And do you have a picture of your seal driver?
The washer on mine was just a hair smaller than the outer lip of the seal, so I had to keep it centered while my dad hit the slide hammer.

HeyYou, ive stated i used a threaded rod with washers and nuts, and ive used an actual seal driver kit....
But i finally got that SOB in yesterday....had to use a 1 11/16 socket, and have a threaded rod going through carrier area, and out driver tube, then i banged the pass. seal in.
Then i went out muddin'....so my trucks pretty dirty right now....i missed my truck so much.... 2 1/2 weeks it was out of commission.
DIY is commin...not going to have the pics for a couple days, but ill have it written up either tonight or tomorrow..

What problems did you run into with the rod trying to pull the seal into place?
