Seal Removal Tool 2-1/2" - Manitowoc - A-491-250 — a direct-fit replacement replacement part. Ordering the replacement part from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.
Specifications
- Part number: ALS-7350-21
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement part
Do the math on a dead lift bay: a bay that bills steadily is producing hundreds of dollars a day, and the part holding it hostage is very often something small. That is the real cost equation on lift parts — not the price on this page, but the days between failure and repair. The shops that feel it worst are the ones that wait until a part strands a vehicle in the air on a Friday. Keeping the known wear items on hand, or ordering them the day symptoms show up, keeps a twenty-dollar part from charging you a week’s rent on the bay it shut down.

Not sure this fits? Here's how to check
Pull the number off your lift's model plate first — model and serial both. Manufacturers run mid-cycle revisions that keep the model name but change hardware, so two lifts with the same name on the column can take different parts. The serial is what removes the guesswork.
Second check: compare the old part against this listing before you order. Length, mounting pattern, and thread sizes tell most of the story. If anything doesn't line up, or if the old part is too worn or broken to measure, call us with photos — we work on these lifts every week and can usually confirm fit from a picture and the lift's serial faster than you can dig through a parts diagram.
While the lift is already apart, replace what is on the same clock. Parts that wear together should be replaced together — the labor of opening the lift up is the expensive half of the job, and doing it twice for two parts that could have shipped in one box is the most common money leak in lift maintenance. Check the mating parts, the hardware, and anything you had to disturb to get here.
Downtime pressure is exactly when shortcuts happen — the temporary fix, the not-quite-right part, the lock that gets bypassed for one job. Do not let a busy schedule talk you into running a lift in a condition you would flag on someone else’s equipment.

About this 2 12 seal removal
The 2 12 seal removal is a direct-fit replacement engineered to restore original manufacturer performance on the lift model it services. Every piece we ship carries the exact dimensional and material specifications the OEM published for that application. Fitment on this component is critical: it interfaces with adjacent hardware in ways that any deviation from spec can drive premature wear on nearby parts or trigger the lift's mechanical safety systems into an unexpected condition. Shops that source this from us instead of a generic aftermarket substitute consistently report zero fitment issues on first-time installation.
Technical specification & installation notes
Technical specification matches the OEM published dimensions to within manufacturing tolerance. When a shop installs the 2 12 seal removal correctly, the lift returns to factory-rated performance immediately — no break-in period, no cycle-count adjustment required. The lift's safety systems (mechanical locks, hydraulic pressure relief, and electrical interlocks) treat a correctly-installed replacement exactly as they would treat a factory-original component during initial commissioning. That parity is what lets us honor warranty coverage without asking for the lift's full operating history.
Shipping & ordering
Freight covers the continental United States on all standard orders. We ship UPS or FedEx ground for parts under 30 lb; heavier assemblies quote at published carrier rates. International orders on the 2 12 seal removal require a freight quote — email dimensions, weight, and destination country to [email protected] and we return a rate within one business day. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories quote at published rates and typically take five to ten business days depending on carrier and destination.
Warranty coverage
Return policy on the 2 12 seal removal follows our store-wide standard: all parts sales are final; exchanges only if the piece arrives defective. In the case of a defective delivery, ship the failed piece back to us at your cost, we verify the defect on receipt, and ship a replacement at ours. Wrong-item deliveries where we made the shipping error follow a different path — we reimburse the return shipping cost and cover freight on the correct part. Contact [email protected] with the order number to start either process.
Cross-reference & fitment
Alternate applications for the 2 12 seal removal sometimes exist. Where a common part fits multiple lift models across a manufacturer's catalog, cross-reference sheets show the compatible models explicitly. If you are consolidating parts stock and want to know which of your lifts the piece covers, email the request to [email protected] with a list of the lift models in your bay — we return a compatibility grid showing which lifts accept the replacement and which need a different number.
