Help (again)!!! - rear input shaft seal removal IMPOSSIBLE

[PaulRS]

Claw hammer

You've obviously never had to remove this particular seal. If you had you'd know you'd be working in a deep recess about the size of a thumb.

I removed my fair share of seals and this particular one is no stranger also.

Under correction, I reckon the 'claw hammer' idea would work in conjunction with the "longer screw'... if the screw protrudes from the cavity, then you can use the claw hammer, levering on the face where the slave cylinder mates with the greabox case (protecting the mating face, of course).

Yep.
