Hi, I'm replacing my rotor on my /5 and noted that I'm leaking a bit of oil from the seal. Is there a trick to removing (and replacing) the crank shaft seal?
thank you Chuck
I'm sure there are other ways...I was thinking that using sheet metal screws put carefully into the seal at a couple of places would let you use something like a slide hammer to pop the seal out. There are other Lisle seal pullers, some that look like a claw hammer that can be used to hook the rubber and lever the seal out.
I removed the timing chest cover and did both seals that way, made it a piece of cake, but also a little more work t tear everything down and put back together
