bolt # is 3AX 1803,, cant remember the washer, I guess it is the 2'' diam. by about 7/8'' thick. I am going out to my parts pile to see if I can get a part number for the washer.

I am rusty with Maxitorque transmissions, so hear me out with a handful of salt. This is the seal off the rear bearing cover under Compound Mainshaft for a Feb 1, 1991 - March 16 1995 year break T2180B. Joey can hopefully confirm if these are the same throughout the years. 

Part number 25623778, in stock at Transource Raleigh, Clinton, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Hickory, Rocky Mount, Salisbury, and Wilmington. Also available at McMahon in Charlotte as of yesterday.

Transource in Raleigh is where I'm getting from. They said 430 pm arrival.

No, based on your experience.. (with respect) hopefully the seal has the flange that seats on the outside of the seal housing, ask for that one..  you do a good job of cleaning the area for the seal.  and you can gently tap around it with a small dead blow hammer to seat it..  you can put a very thin bead of RTV on the leading edge of the seal to acta as a lube as well as a seal...  DO NOT use so much that it gets into the seal lips..  once you seat it flush, it's done..  light oil lube on the yoke so it slids into the seal good,  then torque the yoke down..  550 lbft... 

If you choose to pull the seal housing, that's fine.  the bearing will be exposed but wont drop on the floor. you will need the gasket..   once again,, DO NOT use a lot of RTV. just a light kiss on the gasket, too much will break the gasket...  now installing the seal will require you to hold the housing down so you can install the seal..  a flat clean metal table gets it done. If you have an arbor pres you can gingerly drift the seal in place by hand... easy breezy...  

so you decide, now..   :)

Understood. I ask cause I don't see any separation anywhere. You guys have a lot of info here and I rather ask than create more of a situation for myself. I'm pretty handy. Done a lot already from rears to motors but when I'm not sure.... I rather ask.

You where right Joey. Have seal out and following your directions forward. Thank you sir

did you take the housing off? if not it takes patience, start one poin then work around left and right a bit, then go opposite and tap it in while keeping a hand on the seated portion.  or....  stop, remove the seal and get a pc. of PVC pipe to make a driver...  I have tapped many of them in with the small dead blow, so many I can use a metal hammer and gently seat it..   You'll be ok.. 

am I correct to understand it IS an outboard seal  as earlier units??  if so I have used the old seal cleaned up as a go between for installing new seals. old seal face to face with new; tapping on old seal , some what a buffer sone . have an easier time with install since you can basically hold the two seals together VS one hand holding a hammer another hand holding the new seal another hand -- wait that's 3 .  any how seal to seal works
