Thanks fellows
Mike I saw that in the pic earlier as well. It was remnant from the seal but it really resembled some sort of tab.
I took another pic of it cleaned up a bit. I'm going to try to make some sort of puller using a putty knife as blank.
I didn't expect this. Made the drop and seperation in 3 hrs and exected to get a seal out and back in all in a day....Should've known better.
Honestly the last straw for me and this car. After I fix this leak the 71 is on the market.
