I really had a hard time with this thing, the cage made it pretty difficult, I tried a bunch of different thinkg, some plastic pipe, metal pipe, bunch of different bearing tools and the sort. If you had a pretty exact size socket some people say that works. I'm sure you can, it's pretty expensive you might be able to rent the tool?
I just did this job and didn't have the right tool to install - if you have a 3d printer I designed a tool that will make this job 100000X easier - it's on printables "2004-2011 Ford Focus Output Shaft Seal Installer - CV Axle" I hope this helps someone.
Installed with a 24inch pieces of steel fence post. Quickest attempt I made
You just saved me day!
This worked for me 👍🏽
Can you install the seal without the tool
