Troubleshooting
Seal is not budging
Ensure the adjustable hook is properly seated behind the seal and not slipping. Try repositioning the push rod to a different anchor point for better leverage. For very stubborn seals, a light tap on the handle with a rubber mallet may help break the seal's adhesion, but use caution not to damage the shaft.
Tool slips off the seal
Verify the adjustable hook is correctly positioned behind the lip of the seal. Ensure the hook is not obstructed by dirt or debris. Adjust the hook's angle if necessary to achieve a secure grip.
Difficulty finding a solid anchor point for the push rod
Explore alternative solid points on the engine block or surrounding structural components. In some cases, a sturdy bracket or mounting point might serve as an adequate anchor. Avoid anchoring to flexible or easily damaged parts.
