Removal
Remove transmission, clutch assembly (if equipped) and flywheel/drive plate. Using a knife, cut off seal lip. Carefully pry oil seal from rear oil seal housing. Use care not to damage sealing surfaces.
Installation
- Ensure all sealing surfaces are clean. Apply grease to seal lip of NEW oil seal. Using Oil Seal Installer (SST 09223-15030) and Handle (SST 09951-07100), install oil seal in rear oil seal housing until oil seal is even with housing surface.
- Apply Loctite to flywheel/drive plate bolts. Install and tighten flywheel/drive plate bolts to specification in a crisscross pattern. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-49511-S27767008102001011500000) . To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure.
