Installing new front and rear main seals on my '73 2.0 (rear is flywheel seal) and haven't done this for a while...
Any new tricks to make installation either easier or successful? TIA. |

I have had the best luck having no leaks using the Sabo rear main seal. The orange colored seals seem to leak for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Regrease your flywheel needle bearing while you are in there and check the pilot shaft seal on the tranny. |

I got mine from Gowesty.com Here's a tech article they've got on type 4 rear main seals gowesty.com rear main seal article For removal I use a seal puller, but you've got to take care not to scratch the seal bore |
