Thanks man! I watched at least 20 videos and struggled for a couple of hours. Even with this tool. Your video gave me the technique to get it done. Rock on!
Hey! 👋🏼 I did what you did with the old seal..cosidering it was a perfect fit on the new seal to guide it in evenly. From my before picture, which i took as a reference, i saw that my rear main seal use to be flush with the cover. After i use my old seal on top the new one it got pushed past the lip/cover and is not as flush with the cover. What are the drawback of going in deeper than 'flush'? Thanks
Hi there I have a 1996 Ford escort with the 1.9l engine and I'm getting ready to change the transmission do you know if this is the same type of service I'll need to do for it? Thanks I appreciate your help
I have a leak between gearbox and engine. How can I tell if its main seal leaking or transmission oil. Also would my car be hard to get into gear if the seal is leaking oil onto the flywheel.
Never lubricate the seal thats not how yiu fit them, they hane a coating on them , just clean the mating surfaces and once its 100% dry and clean you fit the seal.
Probably the safest way to remove an old seal as opposed to using a screwdriver to pry it out or driving in a screw then prying on that. Question: You thoroughly degreased the surfaces then reapplied some motor oil to the inside *and* outside before installing the new seal - why? Some say to fit the outside dry to prevent leaks with only a bit of grease on the inside. Thanks.
It looks like in the video you inserted the tool between the seal and the crank. Are you not afraid if damaging the crank? Can you insert the tool in the center of the seal?
Does skoda octavia tsi 2010 have this type. Or do i have to remove that one round thing where is the engine rpm sensor thing wich make lot of problems. I have air leak cause of this seal.
