Sneaky Pete

When you see ―Sneaky Pete‖ in his original packaging, you get the feeling from the

design, that it is quite old.

Sneaky Pete is designed to remove and install automotive upper rear main seals

without dropping the crankshaft. The kit includes a pulling wire with a removable T-

handle, and spring steel clips to grip the seal as it is pulled into position.

And what is the corkscrew for? You thread it into the old seal to pull it out. Not very

different from pulling a cork!
