<VV> removing input shaft seal

[kovacsmj]

I've never had one that was too tight. I usually just reach inside and
pop it out with a screwdriver. By the way, all the ones I've done I
found there was room for two seals back to back and the retainer.

Getting all the information is most of the solution.

Subject: <VV> removing input shaft seal

While I've got my differential and tranny off the engine (1965 Monza
with 4 
speed), I'd like to replace the input shaft seal (and throwout bearing,
of 
course, and pilot bearing too).  Does anyone have any tips on how to
remove 
the thick retaining ring for the input shaft seal?  I'm sure I can get
it 
out, but I'd like to do it without damaging the throwout sleeve!  I've 
thought of drilling holes in it so I could use snap ring pliers, but
that's 
the best I've come up with so far.

Thanks,

John McMahon
