Title: Little known short cut!
Product review: The KD Tools Oil seal Remover/Installer offers a little known method of removing oil seals in antique auto engines. While the standard procedure is to remove the crankshaft, it IS possible to replace the seal with the crankshaft in place. The KD tool set allows the user to first remove the old seal. Next, the "chinese fingers" are inserted over the top of the crankshaft and the new seal is retained by the finger trap. Using liberal amounts of lubricant, one pulls the new seal into place with the "chinese fingers" device included in the tool kit. It helps to slowly turn over the engine by hand (you'll need an assistant) while pulling the new seal into place following the direction of rotation. The old timers knew this routine - and it still works!
