Message: [QUOTE="rascal, post: 721504, member: 9476"] I am not discounting that method at all. I may very well end up going this route : [I][B]"degrease everything, apply red (liquid hydraulic) Loctite to the inner diameter of the wear sleeve. apply a decent amount of the "International Gray" silicone sealant (don't use the paper gasket, if it was supplied) to the part of the seal assembly that will seal to the rear cover... (As one assembly) gently start the wear sleeve onto the crank journal, and then use the flexplate adapter and the OEM 18mm bolts to push the seal onto the crank (until flush with the end of crank)... We use 3 of the factory bolts (~120 deg apart) and a stack of washers to pull the seal down...add washers as necessary to take up the slack. "[/B][/I] Just saying that since I have not done this before the OTC tools might give me a warm fuzzy. Heck, once I get in there and try this I might come to my senses and realize I can save $247. I really want to do it now but I just finished doing all the other mods so I have to pay attention to the wife for awhile. Plus, I don't have the money for the clutch I want right now so I guess I will live with an oil leak for awhile longer till I can get everything I want and do it all in one shot. [/QUOTE]
