Hi Amarin,

I already tried the flat screw on both intermediate and crank seals.

They are hard like concrete.
With a flat screwdriver, are you going in from the outer edge and then you pull up?
Doing that, you force on the edge, and I do not want to notch it.

I also tried the tool below, but I do not want to scratch the interior surface, so I gave up.

I wonder how this may work better:

I know, unbolting the 6 studs and 1 nut is not ideal, but if they are that hard.

I also tried with a screw, as suggested in the FAQs, but man, it looks like the genuine one is made out of metal, you really cannot put a screw in there.
In fact, the genuine crank seal, is beige and not gray as the spare one you buy from Volvo.





Thank you,
Alessandro
