Hello all
1992 Alpha Gen 2 #OD648230
I'm trying to remove the oil seal carrier under the water pump and it won't budge. It's probably original and it appears to be aluminum or bronze. Any tips, tricks, do's or don'ts?
Thank's for any help,
Gary

Its plastic. I use punches in the two holes, and be prepaired to replace it. 'nutcase

Thank's for replying 'nutcase
It is metal. I tried using punches in the holes. Then tried channel lock pliers to try twisting it loose. They dug into the metal but no movement at all.

Have never seen a steel one so check page 2-16 ,item # 18 to be sure we are talking about the same part.

Sorry. 2-16 is right. #18-carrier. It's metal and it's stuck good! I'll get it out one way or another.
Thanks, Gary
