Does anybody have a lip wizard lying around that they could mail to me.
They are only about 2.00 on rockauto, but the shipping is 20.00 to Canada.
What are the dimensions, could you just make one out of plastic?

What is a lip wizard?

That green plastic disc that comes with some transmission rebuild kits

They are about 5 inches around. Not super thick. You can make one. I probabaly have an extra lying around, but I'm in the US so wouldn't shipping be similar?

 

[3_97_sports]

I imagine USPS may be similar. I was going to just use a plastic pop bottle for the plastic.

That sould work. Just polish the edges of it down with some fine sandpaper so there aren't any burrs or rough edges.

I've never heard of a "Lip Wizard" before and my dirty mind immediately went there. 😇

That's a much cheaper alternative to the $100 Seal installer kit.

They work fine, but they aren't quite as easy as the seal installers.

In years past, Ive used a feeler guage.

 

[3_97_sports]

I guess with enough lube on there the feeler gauge wouldn't cut it. Metal and rubber and my luck.
The reason I thought mailing one would be cheap is because of our rates.

Feeler guages do work. First time I tried one many years ago I made the mistake of making and up and down motion with one while installing a lip seal and I sawed up the seal like a piece of wood. You have to use only downward pressure with the feeler guage and some trans gel on it. The lip wizard you simply roll along and it works good too.

Every time I read the title, I get a visual of an old girlfriend. Does that make me a bad person, lol?

Is a windshield washer fluid bottle about the same thickness?

Probably too thick

If you give me a day, I'll dig one out and measure it with a dial caliper.
