901 transmission main seal and rear main seal Options

[John90290]

I pulled the engine to complete the hell hole repair so figured I'd put in a new clutch. Glad I did, clutch disc soaked in oil or transmission fluid, take your pick. Also found the exhaust manifolds nuts hand tight on a couple of the studs and the thermostat cable off of the roller so that basically did not work.

Anyway.... I purchased the new seals - rear main and transmission shaft output but can't find any images or instructions on how to replace them? Usually this is straight forward but there seams to be some sort of recess in the RMS of the engine? Any diagrams or instructions would be appreciated.

Also, the clutch had a lot of material left on it, almost as thick as the replacement disc so I think the clutch was recent but they never bothered to replace seals so it's shot. The flywheel looks smooth and unmarred. Do I still need to resurface?

Thanks!

The RMS you want (Sabo) is available from GoWesty: http://www.gowesty.com/product/mechanical/...l-rear-main-?v=

I think you should be able to remove the old pilot bearing with a press or with a hammer and a suitable drift. Or a puller. I think there are several ways you could skin that cat.

Edit: may also want to ask Mark (914Sixer) where to find that input shaft seal. I bought the OEM from him. I think he has a source in Germany or something.
