Thanks for everyone's reply. This list is a great
source of knowlege and/or opinions on TR6 mechanicals,
and much more. I will keep attacking the darn seal.
Actually, I sold my TR6 some time ago, and recently
bought a TVR Vixen 2500 which is largely TR6 running
gear. Unfortunately, the differential is boxed in by
various frame tubes. My claw-type seal puller is too
big to fit in there and then lever out the seal
without first cutting a few inches off the handle. I
think that's my next step since it isn't too
expensive. I have a dim memory of changing the seal
on a TR3 or a TR6 previously and it also ended up a
mangled mess when I was done. I don't know if it is
tighter in there in front of the diff on a TR6.

way before the seal comes out. Usually I resort to
cutting a section of the
seal out with a screw driver, then prying out the
remaining piece.
Jim-In reading between the lines of your original
question, is the diff still
in place? I
