Rear Main Oil Seal
- Thread starter cass10169

Can be done by dropping the trans Michael.
Lever the old one out with a screwdriver taking care not to gouge the crank surface clean out the Aluminium housing then apply some #4 permatex to the outer surface of the seal and some grease to the inner and it'll slip right in there.
Worst case you may need to tap it home with a piece of timber and a hammer. (most of em push in with your fingers with the permatex acting as a lubricant and when it sets it holds em in nicely)

sorry to hijack, but i think this thread is dead anyways, but i have a few questions...
where can i purchase the rear main oil seal and rear tranny seal? both of which should be replaced when i install my new clutch/FW, correct?

Always a good idea to change em if you have a chance!
Toyota or if someone has the numbers any bearing place should stock them.

does it matter what kind of grease to use on the innerseal? the book said a certain kind but does it really matter?
Any grease will work even a smear of engine oil will do you just want to avoid tearing the lip on a dry start.

My Advance Auto Parts had the rear main seal and tranny gasket in stock, so I just picked them up there. Otherwise best place is probably from Jeff Watson. Replacing them while the transmission is out is a smart idea.
when I did my rear seal, i replaced the seals on the input and output shafts of the tranny as well. lot of work in deed...
