Re: C59-C60 swap shaft seal issues

I replaced the National 710419 with a Febest 95HBY-34630915L this weekend. It measured a little narrower with the calipers, and seems to have done the trick. 2" PVC works well to get the seal seated...and using a 1.5' length made the install a lot easier. Now if I can just figure out the part n...
