    are there any common tools that I can use to remove the Wheel Seals/bearing on 1960 comet instead of purchasing the required tools. I have replaced my Brakes (Front) and since I am in there want to change the grease in wheel seals also.
    Thanx

    You can use a pry bar to pop the seals out, you will have to buy new seals as this method will damage the. Another method is after you've remove the rotor/drum put the nut back on the spindle then hook the seal on the nut and pull the rotor/drum, again this will most likely damage the seal and should be replaced. And the bearings will just slide out of the rotor, if you want to remove the races (shouldn't have to if your just repacking bearings) you'll need some punches.

    I've never pulled one that I didn't have to replace.
