working in a congested space under the seat, and having to contort into uncomfortable positions to gain access and reach it.
I ended up drilling a small hole into the metal surface. Screwed in a wood screw. And with a pry bar attempted to remove the seal. Nope. It did rip the metal apart though.
These kind of adventures always bring to mind 25 years ago...when I sent one of my teams to work on a diesel generator in a confined space. They figured the front plate needed removal. Cast iron. Maybe 50lbs and ~15 bolts. It was old and the old seal made it stuck so they got out their pry bars and whatnot. It did eventually come off.
We gave that front plate to the crew chief as a farewell gift when he left that assignment. It had a chunk missing where they had missed removing a bolt. They had removed the plate by accidentally cracking off the inch thick cast iron around that bolt thinking it was a stuck seal...
I'm glad your leak got fixed. Not like they fixed that diesel generator.
