Picture needed

This weekend I plan on tackling the ball joints on the front of my 2000 F250. I've been reading up on it here at the forum, and everyone mentions a piece of pipe made into a tool used to push the axle seals on... Could someone please provide me of a pic of this tool?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

the easiest thing i found..... is just ask your local dealer to borrow their seal driver..... mine here lent it to me for a few hours, and didnt charge me anything..... made things a ton easier !!

99f350, How thick is that piece of pipe? For some reason in the picture, that tool looks enormous to me.

mattd, thanks, I might have to run down there and ask them... didn't even think to do that

"





9" long
flange 3 3/4"
pipe 2 1/4 outside
hole is 1 1/2"

The flange fits the seal so as not to damage it.
I just used a rubber mallot and wacked it." --- Courtesy of 99f350


Hopefully he will chime in again and comment on how thick the pipe is, or if that matters at all.

Its reg wall pipe you can get scrap at a welding shop. 1/8-3/16 doesn't matter much.
