toque tube seal removal help

There is a seal behind the speedo gear and the front bearing, does anyone have any ideas on how to remove it without taking off the toque tube?

How about splitting a 3/8 vacuum hose to slip over the edge. It may need some trim adhesive to keep it in place.

I'll be replacing the top on my 21 roadster all I have is the bows so not much to go by. Did the 21 roadsters have a roll-up back curtain with fasteners at the belt, or were they tacked along the bottom and covered with hidem, thanks.

Re: old photo

One thing I liked about this photo was the model t was more likely to have survived, being the one that was tucked away in some old barn, while the new terraplane was pulling everyday chores, well past WW2. I don't know what year the T is, but looks in good shape for it's age.

There are two conditions where good brakes are needed. One is going downhill. We have hills so steep that even in low gear you need some brakes to keep the speed down.
