Tool idea for side seals
I'm finally getting around to replacing the pinion and side seals in the 300D (123.133 chassis) and came up with an idea to drive in the side seals.
An old race from a set of bearings # JLM104910 fits over the seal and allows for gentle pounding from a brass hammer. You can see the race fitted over the new side seal in the attached image. They are not the quality that I make with the 4x5 view camera, but I put off buying a pocket digital camera for many years. The ski photo was taken by my niece a few days ago, on the peak of Stratton Mountain, VT. It was a little brisk.
