Remove camshaft seal/seals

Lubricate and install a new seal with drift 9995449 , use a copper mallet. (Drift 9995449 of the later version is made of plastic.)

NOTE:

Later version sealing rings are removed with an extractor 9995919, because of the reduced space between the camshaft and sealing ring reinforcement.
