Rear Main Bearing Oil Seal: Installation

Inspect crankshaft seal area for any damage that may prevent sealing and service or replace crankshaft as necessary. Coat crankshaft seal area and seal lip with engine oil. Start seal in recess and install seal using seal installer (T81P-6701-A or equivalent). See Fig. 8.  Tighten bolts evenly so seal is straight and properly aligned.
