New(?) trick for removing rear cam seal 850 1993

Hello again lads,

I had an annoying, steady leak from exhaust rear cam seal. The youTube instructional videos I viewed made the replacement procedure look pretty routine.

I spent over an hour endeavoring to turn a drywall screw, then trying to punch a small nail through the outside metal of the seal. There's not much room for this stuff. No luck.

Returned a third time to the garage to search for a solution... It was here somewhere...

AHA! Found an old linoleum knife. It has a wooden handle, and a 90 degree turn. Mine is sharp as shit. A couple tinks from a hammer punctured the metal and I popped it right out.

I (think) I posted an image.

    Most of us used a very small drill bit to make a hole for the screw.

    Keeping it running is better than buying new

      I'll take rear seals over front ones with CVVT hubs any day.

        Yup, when did the rear cam seal and sensor on my 95 850, compared to other jobs, it was the proverbial "piece of cake"....:)
