1953 Dynaflow seals

[Aaron65]

While my engine's out, I bought 2 seals for my Dynaflow from Bob's, because my Dynaflow leaks from the flexplate inspection plate--the torque converter seal, and the front pump seal. The guy on the phone told me to do the front pump seal while I was in there, because it's often a leaker...anyone do this before? I know the torque converter one leaks because the bolts were loose when I bought the car, so I tightened it up by rotating the engine and it took care of 80% of the leak...but I don't have a 1953 manual, so any front pump seal help will be appreciated (I have a 1952, but that's a different Dynaflow)...thanks!

DANGER WILL ROBINSON!! (sorry couldn't resist!) The "torque converter" is actually the front pump on a dynaflow. I'm not positive about the '53 as I have a '50, But when I took mine apart I had a heck of a time putting it back together! The front plate comes off easy enough, but the rest is held on the trans input shaft by a C clip. Once this comes off the be very careful with the pumps. Theres a bunch of needle bearings inside...
