Message is labelled as 2" x 1-1/2" E950JH. Carlon and Thomas/Betts makes this part - easy to find via Google. Get at Home Depot, ACE, etc. Other PVC part you'll need for the crank seal is a short length of PVC pipe (like a 1-1/4" coupler - E940G). It fits over the crank shaft (as an extension) to allow the mallet to hit the PVC reducer. Get the reducer, hold it the way it fits on the seal (via flange end) and you'll see what I'm talking about (remember the crank shaft sticks out by 3 inches ).

I'd recommend the Red loctite anyway -- I used it on the idler stud nuts when installing the new pulleys.

FYI -- Was never able to find a metric stud puller locally, had to order on-line. So if you can't get the double nutting trick to work - may have to go the red loctite route for the old stud nuts too???
