Hi Hugh
I did this all with regular pullers etc. Follow the workshop manual
instructions but substitute Churchill tool #XYZ for puller and some
ingenuity. If you are doing the output shaft seals you have to pull the
bearings so it might be worth replacing those as well. Don't think it is
worth pulling the output flange off as I don't think you can replace the
seals over them, not sure so maybe someone on the list can confirm this. I
did this job 2 years ago so details are a little hazy even with looking at
the parts book!

Graham.
