Any new tricks to make installation either easier or successful? TIA. I stub axle works well as an installation tool for the rear main seal with which it is the same diameter. There are two different depths if the rear seal. 10 and 12 mm. The seal rides on the curved part of the flywheel. I prefer to install to seal no deeper than is needed. It may not need to go to the bottom of the bore. |
