Did not work at all. The drill and screw method outlined by cn90 for cam seals is the way to go because these output shaft seals are in there tight.

I've never had an axel seal leak and once you've removed an axel once it is very easy. With anti seize it comes off easy. I don't replace it; I've learned with seals on cars and home plumbing its sometimes better to leave things as they are but to each their own
