Review on 🛠️ Wheel Knuckle Vacuum Oil Seal Installer for Ford F-250/350 (2005-2019) - Model 6697 by Devin Maselli

Well made and durable tool. These seals must be designed in such a way that they are not damaged during installation. My poor rating is due to the disappointment I experienced when using it on the first print. I started tapping the tool to seat the gasket and about 2/3 the way it stopped moving. The tool got stuck on the axle and I couldn't get it loose. I had to knock off a new $50 seal to get the tool off the axle. Examining the inside of the tool, I found that the innermost part was too narrow to fit through the axle and was binding. A few minutes with a Dremel rotary sander did the trick and everything ran smoothly after that. Just pissed that I had to issue a new seal to find out. I suggest that before you remove the old seal from the shaft you are putting the tool on, you make sure it goes far enough to fit the old seal. After fixing the tool, it was very easy to mount the seals on the axle and insert the seals into the joint. I also highly recommend buying a pair of long snap ring pliers to remove the clamp from the axle and remove the bearing. very strong c-clip and requires the right tool to remove it
