This video details how to remove a leaking oil seal from a vehicle. A new seal is then carefully installed. Support me on Paypal: www.paypal.me/... For text and still pictures of this procedure see: www.originalmec...
Good video but very frustrating watching you work with one hand while the other is operating the camera, especially the one handed screwdriver routine. Possibly a small tripod for the camera ?
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I have always used a tripod but these must have been situations where I couldn't for some reason. I agree, one hand on tool and the other holding camera does not result in a good steady shot.
Ver cool idea with the PVC pipe, I have plenty of scrap PVC laying around here and will be using my miter saw to get the even cuts/edges and a little sandpaper to smooth them out so to not have sharp burs. Thanks for the video!
Nice Tip. So installing spark plug tube seals can be done with a bolt and washers on a removed valve cover instead of buying a bearing/seal install tool. it just takes longer but cost a lot less. And here i was going to use a socket and hammer to drive it home. I like this better.
I just did the freezing cv axle seal a couple days ago, I just stuck mine in a handful of snow in 12 f. temps we are having right now, I knew about it a long time ago, and yes it does work. When you chill metal it shrinks, therefore allowing the seal to slip into the housing much easier than when it is warm.
Good video, had to do this myself several times. I use petroleum jelly for assembly lube on seals, o-rings and most engine parts with great success. I also like to check the inner seal surfaces with a dental pick to make sure I haven't rolled the inner surfaces.
Most folks don't have a slide hammer or a trunion puller...but. Use a longer screw and after threading it in use an adjustable wrench or a claw hammer that can span the shaft of the screw but not clear the head. Give it a snap upward and out comes the seal.
Nicely done on the install. Just what I was looking for. Replacing mine I rushed it by using PVC and a hammer. Mounted in crooked, ruining the new seal. Now ordering a. new one and will press it in there s way. Thanks for the good video. Where do you get your parts for hest quality and price?
Thanks it was just the info I needed for my Courage 20 Kohler only 60 hr. on it and was a bad oil seal when I ck it out on my own time 5.00$ fix instead of a shop saying new engen time :)
How to put a new seal in place, as I tried once with some shots of hammer but it'll damaged my seal and got a new one but don't have such a thing that you have to push it back in place that was the main horrible part of replacing seal diy any suggestions bro.
If you don't have two people it's tough. I made a video several years ago that may give you some ideas. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H2Jg1giLUqg.html
@The Original Mechanic, in order to prevent engine surface damage, Toyota recommends putting rags between your pry tool and the engine surface when removing the seal using a lever technique.
Does everyone lube the entire seal. I put lithium on the entire seal on my Generac engine. And it still leaks. It's just a hair beyond flush. It's even as I love-tapped in with a plastic pipe.
You just pour seal removal fluid in your trans and let it warm up for 20 minutes. Shut off engine for 10 minutes. Start it up and run it 3 times for exactly 5 minutes each... then it will be gone.
Hear a Penguin had his car in with a seal prob,, Penguin went across the road for an ice cream while waiting,,,went back to shop with ice cream all down his front..the mechanic said blew a seal... Penguins no Ice Cream..
Geez... it took you TWENTY SECONDS to drill through a plastic dust cover?!!!!!! When you said "sharp"... I thought you meant 'with a cutting edge'... :-(
smithraymond09029 I would just take my time, use some common sense with this, watch what I'm doing and not be in any hurry just like he said in the video
