Has anybody who did a swap of engines, replace the rear crank oil seal? I have my 2.5 out on an engine stand. I have a new seal but can't find a puller that is like the Ford factory tool. My seal @ 107,000 isn't leaking now but I'd like to replace it anyway. Has anyone had any leakers on the old engines you removed.
Where can I find this tool? Who makes the factory one?

Yes. It's called a medium sized flat screwdriver.
Hammer it into the middle of the seal body between the block and the crank about 1/4" with the blade tangent to the crank end circle.
Then push towards the crank and pry the seal out. The seal has a metal outer ring and as long as your screwdriver tip stays in that ring you won't scratch anything.
Once you press it to the center and it stops, hold it by the base and slap the end with the palm of your hand hard and quick and it will pop out.
