<VV> PG Transmission question

[shortle]

Hi Rex,
   I had to remove mine with a slide hammer, mounting the slide hammer adaptor to the front pump (the center bolts on that cover). Be very careful as other stuff can fall apart (internally). The least I would check before disassembly would be the "end play" of the small shaft coming out the back of the trans (torque converter area)and make sure end play is the same as before. I also would clean the area around that front cover to make sure no crud gets in. Finally, I would use petroleum jelly/vaseline to help seat the new seal. You'll probably have to tap it back in with a rubber mallet.
I hope this helps.

>Hi all,
>    Have a PG question (probably one of several as we go along).  My son in law removed the drive train from my 65vert (95hp Pg).  The PG has had a bad leak for some time, we have isolated it to what we believe is the front pump seal.  We are attempting to remove the plate from the front of the pump housing.  Have removed all bolts from both the inner and outer bolt circles on the face of the PG, but are unable to remove the front plate.  From the drawings it looks like the plate should just pull out of the lip but we are unable to budge it.  Is there some trick or something else that we have missed ?
