I've been rebuilding the gearcase on a whirlpool WTW5505SQ1. I'm having trouble removing the cover seal - it seems to be attached with gasket sealer and it's coming off in pieces.
Help appreciated.

He's talking about the seal for the spin pinion gear/clutch drive.

Yes, the part I'm having trouble with is part #3 in the diagram (MFG Part Number 3349985) called "shaft seal". It's on top of the gearcase cover and the spin/agitator shaft goes through it. I was able to pull pieces of it off but haven't figured out how to remove the rest of it which seems to be glued on with gasket sealer.

Found a way to do it -- I put it on top of a propane grill. After the flames stopped I saw that what remained of the cover seal had fallen out.
