The seal carrier came off just as Don described. No damage to anything. Thank you.

The sealing surface on the intermediate is smooth with a few small spots of discoloration. The outer 3/8 inch of the crank sealing area is polished steel and the inner 7/16 inch is not polished and is kind of a brownish color. Where the shiny section joins the brown section is a ridge and a shallow groove.

Is this ridge a result of original machining and polishing?

Or, was the whole end of the crank equally polished to begin with, meaning the ridge and color difference are results of where the seal rode for so long?

What can be used to clean up the sealing surfaces?

Should I seat the new crank seal a little deeper into the carrier?
