8 Position the flywheel/driveplate against the crankshaft. Be sure to
align the marks made during removal. Note that some engines have an
alignment dowel or staggered bolt holes to ensure correct installation. Be-
fore installing the bolts, apply thread locking compound to the threads.
9 Wedge a screwdriver through the starter motor opening to keep the
flywheel/driveplatefrom turning as you tighten the bolts to the torque listed
in this Chapter’s Specifications.
10 The remainder of installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
18 Rear main oil seal - replacement
Refer to illustrations 18.2a, 18.2b, 18.5 and 18.6
1 The transmission must be removed from the vehicle for this proce-
dure (see Chapter 7).
2 The seal can be replaced without removing the oil pan or seal retainer.
However, this method is not recommended because the lip of the seal is
quite stiff and its possible to cock the seal in the retainer bore or damage it
during installation. If you want to take the chance, pry out the old seal (see
illustration).
Apply a film of clean oil to the crankshaft seal journal and the
lip of the new seal and carefully tap the new seal intoplace
(see illustra-
tion).
The lip is stiff so carefully work it onto the seal journal of the crank-
shaft with a smooth object like the end of an extension as you tap the seal
into place. Don’t rush it or you may damage the seal.
3 The following method is recommended but requires removal of the oil
pan (see Section 15) and the seal retainer.
4 After the oil pan has been removed, remove the bolts, detach the seal
retainer and peel off all the old gasket material.
5 Position the seal and retainerassemblyon acouple of wood blocks on
aworkbench anddrivetheoldseal out from the backside withapunchand
hammer
(see illustration).
18.2a The quick (but not recommended) way to replace the rear
main oil seal is to simply pry the old one out - other models may
require removal of the rear main seal retainer
18.2b Lubricate the crankshaft journal and the lip of the new
seal with engine oil and tap the new seal into place-the seal lip
is stiff and can be easily damaged during installation if you’re
not careful
18.5 After removing the retainer from the engine, support it on
wood blocks and drive out the old seal with a punch and hammer
