Tools Required

J 38841 Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal Installer

1. Inspect the crankshaft.

The rear sealing surface should be free of grit, rust, burrs, or other damage. Minor imperfections may be removed with polishing compound or a fine grade emery cloth.

2. Lubricate the inner and the outer diameter of the seal with clean engine oil.
3. Start the seal by hand and install the seal onto the crankshaft.
4. Install the J 38841 to the crankshaft. Thread the attaching screws into the flywheel bolt holes of the crankshaft.
5. Tighten the screws securely with a screwdriver in order to ensure that the tool is installed squarely onto the crankshaft.
6. Rotate the tool handle clockwise until the seal bottoms in the bore.
7. Remove the J 38841 from the crankshaft.
