anybody have any information on replacing the rear main seal? ive already got the trans pulled. how do i get it off and what tool do i need to replace it?

 

Seal puller to remove it, or a pick/screwdriver. Install with a soft drift and hammer.

 

^^^what he said

 

okay, by soft drift, do you mean something like this,

Great deal on Mayhew Tools 61360 at TheToolWarehouse.Net

sorry for asking stupid questions, this is just something that i dont want to screw up.

another quick question. can i use lnf pressure plate bolts on the lsj upgrade kit? i stripped 3 of those torx heads pretty badly

 

Yes that would be a soft drift

 

Yeah a brass drift will be perfect, you can also use a little piece of aluminum if you have it available, i've done that in places. Just go slowly so you don't go to far on one side if you haven't done this before. It's better to spend 10 min and do it right than rush it and ruin the seal when you knock it in too far on one side first and distort it. Even depth is the key.

Yes you can use LNF bolts, they should be identical.

For balance reasons I like to use a matched set of whatever pressure plate bolts in question, having one of a different design can cause a light/heavy spot on the flywheel assembly.

 

awesome thanks! yeah, i was gonna use all of the same bolts, i just wasnt sure if the thread was the same between bolts. the hex head looks like it will be nicer to deal with than the torx head.
