rear crank seal insertion
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2023 3:21 pm
Hi - I am trying to replace the rear crank seal on my Rover V8 sd1 motor circa 1978 and have removed the old seal and gone through the steps to clean up etc the shaft and applied oil to the shaft and inner rim of the seal. I am now struggling to get the new seal on to the shaft despite a lot of pressing, tapping, gentle levering with a plastic bike tyre lever and a lot of bad words, but no joy with getting the inner rim of the seal started the shaft. I have removed the gear box and am working under the car so do had a great space to work in. Any tips or advice to get the seal in to place would be much appreciated.
thanks
Jonathan
