How to Rear Main Seal Replace - Crankshaft Seal Replacement Leak Repair How To DIY 

yeh baby taps do the job , i do like that flexplate holding tool and the explanation re the spring insinde the seal. seen the puny stretch bolts on the 3.8 v6 motors man it amazes me they dont snap when the flexplate is under serious load, without dowel pins i think theyed definitely do the dissapearing act.

You can also just drill a screw into the old seal and use it as a hook to pull the seal.

How did you keep the engine tilted to put trans back in easier

Another method for removing these seals is to take a sharp razor blade and cut a notch in the rubber sleeve that slides over the crankshaft. Then you can fit a small flathead screw driver into the notch and leverage the seal ring out. If you get the right leverage and tension the whole seal will just pop right out. Use a dab of tape over the end of the screw driver to prevent scratching of the crankshaft surface. Seen this method recommended in the Toyota service manuals.

Are the rear main seal and the rear crankshaft seal the same?

Nice! twisted with a torque wrench?

Are there oil seal in the other side toward the gearbox ?

Hello, I’ve seen a couple of your vids including this and the tail shaft centre bearing replacement. I want to learn/help fix mine, as it needs replacing. I was wandering is it possible to pay and help get it fixed? Ive been told that one of the jobs can take 8 days, but that’s too long as I need it for work.. it’s making me want to just get rid of it and buy a new car in that circumstance, but if I can do it quicker, I’ll keep it..

Sat and fked with it for ages, then I bopped it on the bottom and it just came free! Hahahaha

Didnt notice you greasing or oiling seal lip.....now you have a DRY start on the seal and get to do it all over again

Lol happy Gilmore

Found out they never replaced the seal but took my money and want give money back.

I don't want to give a bad opinion but I bet that will leak again not right away but perhaps in 6 months or so.

Somebody charged me 3100 to replace one robbery

Did you took off the engine or gearbox completely? I got a kia picanto automatic.. Oil leak from Rear crankshaft oil seal.. Is it difficult to change on automatic cars.. I want to take it to the garage

Why did you put it on dry? Usually seals should be prelubed.
