J 42841-A Rear Oil Seal Remover
Important: Although originally equipped with a lip-style crankshaft rear oil seal, engines built from March 1, 1996 and thru 1999 should now use the cassette-style crankshaft rear oil seal.
Important: If the engine is in the vehicle, the crankshaft rear oil seal can be removed/installed after the transmission/transaxle and engine flywheel are removed.
Important: Crankshaft rear oil seal removal requires adequate space for removal. Mount the engine on a suitable engine stand which will properly space the engine in order to use the J 42841-A in order to remove the crankshaft rear oil seal. If necessary, remove the crankshaft rear oil seal with the engine properly supported on the floor or on a bench.
Important: Beginning with the model year 2006 the flywheel/flexplate crankshaft bolt hole thread was changed from 8 x 1.25 mm to 11 x 1.5 mm. The J 42841-A will service the cassette seals installed on engines from March 1, 1996 and later. If the older J 42841 is to be used on a 2006 or later engine the update kit, J 42841-10, must be used to convert the J 42841 to a J 42841-A .
Important: Northstar engines 2005 and older have an 8 x 1.25 mm flywheel/flexplate crankshaft bolt hole thread. Northstar engines 2006 and later have an 11 x 1.5 mm flywheel/flexplate crankshaft bolt hole thread.
