Now that I got the 1994 Mercedes E320 wagon rear transmission case housing remove, is there any proper tools need to remove the transmission rear case seal correctly without damaging the housing? Thanks for reading.

DM are you refering to the auto gearbox transmision oil pan seal -gasket or final drive gasket ?. Its easy to replace auto oil pan gasket seal but harder to replace final drive [axle]case seal. The final drive rear seal replacment can only be replaced by removing the final drive from the subframe .But side seals for drive shafts left and right removal of the drive shaft will be easy for this seal replacment.As will the main drive shaft from the engine to final drive . Do you have the free manual ?

optimusprime, Thanks for your post. I appreciated it. I was referring to the black color output flange transmission seal. See the enclosed pictures on my previous thread: Removing the 30mm transmission output flange/yoke nut correctly.. Sorry about the misunderstanding. I ordered a seal puller tool to help remove the seal and replace a new one.
