All sealed up and nowhere to go

With the old drive shaft removed from the 280z for replacement, i seized the opportunity to replace the output shaft seal on the transmission.

 

Using a seal puller, I popped the old seal out and cleaned up the area.

Finally, I used a bit of transmission oil on the outside of the seal to allow it to seat easier, then drove the seal into place using (of all things) a Roomba brush cleaner as it was the perfect diameter.  I couldn't use my seal drivers due to the fact that the tail shaft protruded past the transmission housing.  Don't forget to add grease to the inner lips of the seal before installing, as it would be much more difficult to do so afterwards.
