Nasty Oil Seals 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Marcus on  Tue Sep 28 18:39 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I'm having a devil of a time trying to install the crankshaft oil seal. I've tried wood, metal cylinder, screwdriver handle, and swear words. How about this tool (or am I wasting $51 plus tax)?

    I installed mine into the housing then mounted the housing onto the engine. With the housing flat on the bench it is easy to use a block of 2X4 (laid sideways on the seal_ and a hammer to tap it in. Or use a vice if you have one.

    Have you tried using the old seal to press the new one in, since it is the same diameter?

    Can you remove the seal carrier, as can be done with b21s and b23s, to put the seal in on the bench? You'll probably need a new carrier gasket though.

    They drive me nuts too. The tool makes it a 30 second snap, asuming it is the B230 version.

      I use the gear from a cam or intermediate shaft (that I have ground down slightly) to press the seal in.



      The other seal tool in the picture is the Volvo tool for changing front seals. They are also really handy.
