I know the seal you describe, and yes its a bloody rip off with the cost of the seal installer. Even a Cat rear and front main installer wasn't that bloody expensive.
Maybe you could do what most of the clients I had when working for Cat, just called out one of the field lads, and asked them to install same. Two reasons, one the tooling was bloody expensive, and an hours labor, was relatively cheaper,second if our lads installed it, workmanship came into it, so aspects such as a dud install, or an issue where at forefront. The job was then warranted. I believe Isuzu dealer have a break down team or a field service team here in Perth? Not sure where you are located. There are other options for the seal, being a marine type similar seal, but haven't seen one for a Isuzu. Hope this helps.
thanks very much . i thought of all the hard ways to do it not for a second did i think of getting someone to come out . thanks for a lesson in common sense
