So after mashing my snout seal on a pulley drop, which proceeded to leak SC oil all over the place for a couple weeks, I finally received my box of parts from ZZP on Friday. I wasn't impressed with the packing job, they just stuffed parts (bearings, seal, oil, and coupler) in a couple UPS waybill windows inside a box, and oil had leaked somwhere along the way. I was also surprised at least 1 of the bearings was Chinese. At the close of business Saturday at my buddies shop, (he has a 45 ton press) I tore into the job using a couple vids I found online for reference.
The job was pretty straightforward, using regular sockets for the most part, and a piece of pipe. Some common sense using the press should go unsaid, but quite honestly, the biggest pain was getting the new seal on the spindle, but we finally got it on. I figured this might be helpful for anybody attempting the job.
