Subject:      Drive flange / output shaft seal.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I've got a leaky drive flange output seal on the left side of my
tranny.  My question is:  how do I remove the drive flange.  On
transverse mounted VW engines there is a special tool to compress a huge
spring behind that flange; on Quantums (inline mounted again) there is
just a single bolt and you slide the flange out; on Vanagons it looks
like you have to leverage it out somehow...  What are the tricks??

Thanks;

Damian
