I got the old seal out, the crank and seal mount cleaned, and the new seal in.

Trimming the plastic seal carrier was a beautiful idea. I trimmed it with nippers, then smoothed it with a new utility knife blade. I wore gloves for that part.

I used an air hammer to remove the bolts and I'll put them back in with my torque wrench. The spec I found says 50 ft-lbs.

The toughest part was removing the old seal. I would up using a less than ideal tool, but it didn't mar anything.

The new seal is well oiled on all sides.

I'm very glad I did this - when I removed the flex plate, I could see that the seal was leaking! There was some kludge on the seal mount, which I cleaned off with a dental pick and steel wool.

The 0000 steel wool was very slow, but had a nice finish. I found some, which I think was more like 0 or 00, and it worked much better.

All this will go into the write-up, as well as big thanks to Randy and Art.

Happy Wrenching!
