Pop off the pulley from the crank (didn't even need a puller with mine)
The only seals worth a damn are the Toyota ones.
The newer ones are thinner, so if there's a groove you can position the seal so the lip isn't in the groove.
I think you told me this before. I have heard of several other ways too. Supposedly, some cars had different seals, and some are wider, some need a lip trimmed off, and various other methods.
Not a fan of a speedy shim. Since its a long term bandaid. I just would rather spend the money and do it right and not have to worry about it for 200,000+ miles. I had experiences with a prior 4x4 that I believed the mechanic and this would fix that, only to have the same issue happen again in less than 6 months.
