Input shaft oil seal replacement

[Badgerman]

Is it possible to remove this oil seal without stripping the gearbox?

New clutch in and not sure if I now need to strip the box......

Thanks

Yes. Remove old seal, replace with new seal. Nothing more, nothing less.

If it's the same pattern as the output seal (and I've no idea if it is - I've done two output seals but never an input), you could try 'self tapper' technique:
Carefully drill two opposed holes in the steel facing of the seal, part way screw in some small self tappers (try the drill / self tappers out on some scrap first), grab them with long nose pliers and carefully pull the seal out. You'll have to find some suitable tubing or a big deep socket to drift the new seal in.

I wrote up what i did to my output seal here

it's a loooong tunnel - So two (very) long right angled picks - insert down the long tunnel, hook into seal along the inner edge, twist picks so right angle is under the seal and pull out.
