Ok guys-i need help with installing the rear main seal. replaced once with stock ering with no special procedures and it leaked. replaced with stock victor reinz with a light coat of hondabond(let set up for 3 days) and it leaked.
what is the trick here? 1. The ering was a little bit thinner than the victor reinz-10mm vs. 11.5mm. 2. The original was an ering. 3. Is there a special method for using permetex or the hondabond type of sealent? Any help would be appreciated, because i have been working on this pos for about 9 months and i am running out of stuff to replace. i am so close to having a daily runner, but i can't get this seal right.......HELP.......... Thanks, craig |

When you install the seal it needs to go in straight with something that pushes the entire seal in at once, you can tweek it tapping it in here and there. I had heard that an axle stub is the same size as the seal to use to tap it in. Also check the flywheel surface where the seal rides for anynicks/burrs that you can dress. Oh and did you change the o-ring in the end of the flywheel?
