[Healeys] Replacing pinion oil seal

[Bob Spidell]

The dust cover is a disk with a lip that fits over the yoke on the outside of the housing; i.e. it's not pressed into the housing. 

I called this 'flange' and 'yoke' in a previous post, it's actually the yoke and the dust cover that slips over it. They look like one part and usually come off together.

To pull the pinion flange you probably do not need a puller, at the most 
than the usual two legged afair to help a bit. It should not be a 
pressed fit. 
The pressed end plate you are referring to is probably the metal dust 
cover that is pressed in over the seal it self. You can remove this dust 
cover and the seal using a large screw driver. You probably need to 
replace this cover as wel as the seal, as it is likely that it gets 
damaged in the proces. The BJ7/8 partnumber is ATC7101 for the cover and 
ATC 7085 for the seal.
