Manual Shift Shaft Seal: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003 GMC Envoy XL, 2003 GMC Envoy, and 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Raise and support the vehicle. Remove the PNP switch. See PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH . Ensure the jackscrew for Selector Shaft Seal Remover (J-43911) is backed off and will not interfere with installation of the removal tool. Slide the seal remover tool over the selector shaft (2) with the threaded end of the tool towards the seal. See Fig 1 . Rotate the removal tool so the threads on the end of the tool engage the steel shell (1) of the seal. Use a wrench to ensure the removal tool is firmly attached to the seal shell. Rotate the jackscrew in the clockwise direction to remove the seal from the bore. Discard the seal that was removed.
