Thread: Anyone have a FM front seal installer I can borrow?

  1. #1

    Default Anyone have a FM front seal installer I can borrow?

    I'm trying to install my front crank seal and I have about 0.5mm of the seal sticking out and I can't get the rest in all the way. Does anyone have the front seal installer or any equivalent I can borrow? I'm willing to pay the cost of the installer as a deposit and a few bucks for your time. Or if you have any ideas on how I can finish this, I'd be grateful.

    I have it but didn't find it particularly special. A large socket should work just as well.

    Only problem is I don't have a large socket. I suppose I could buy one but I thought I'd check here first. Can I borrow yours? Or buy it off of you?

    all you need is a 3/8 extension and a hammer and your done.

    Hey isn't this the seal where you can use a piece of PVC pipe? Or is that the Cam seals? Haven't done a timing belt change lately.

    Piece of PVC with 1-7/8" OD works great. Probably 1-3/4" pipe, but I'm not sure. I put some black tape on the edge that was contacting the seal before I tapped it in.
