Re: Crankshaft oil seal 700 1988

Doug: Mike has a great idea there, using a cut piece of PVC pipe, or equivalent (in diameter) to knock the seal in: but if you can't find the right size of pipe/equivalent, try this: on a rear main seal, the 'male' end of a 3/8" extension bar is just the right size to (gently) tap the seal into place...try that, or maybe the male end of a 1/4" extension rod for your seal.The square end of the extension is easier on the seal than the sharp-edged round end of a drift. The key word ios TAP, definitely not a hammerfest. Putting a little engine oil on it ahead of time eases installation. Good Luck, please keep us posted.--PD
