How did you get your inner thermostat seal out.....
 

SmileWavyI am up for the challenge, I screwed up in trying to hook the bugger out of there and messed it up before i realized that it wasn't just a rubber seal:mad:, I have all of the external rubber off but the metal sleeve is still there, How did you get yours out- Dremel tool , screw driver, punch, needle nose, huge easy out:confused:...........

picture? i am trying to figure out, from memory, what you are talking about, but can't arouse those particular brain cells.

Ok this is the easy and painless way to remove the inner seal.
Purchase a 1 inch internal pipe wrench found in the plumbing section of your local hardware or builders store for about ten bucks. The one i purchased had to have about 1/2 inch ground off the end to allow the expanding cam to grip it but i have seen others that look like they would work straight out of the box. Only a few twists and it was out! I cant stress the usefulness of the Snap On snap ring tool also, easy in easy out.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1217809870.jpg
