2. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These
tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
NOTE: If the rear crankshaft seal retaining plate is not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with
Metal Surface Cleaner F4AZ-19A536-RA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSE-M513392-A. Allow to dry until there is no sign of
wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
NOTE: The silicone must be applied on the groove along the retainer plate.
Apply silicone around the rear oil seal retainer sealing surface. Use Silicone Gasket and Sealant F7AZ-19554-EA or equivalent meeting Ford
specification WSK-M2G343-A4.
3. Install the rear oil seal retainer and loosely install the eight bolts.
4. Tighten the eight rear oil seal retainer bolts in the sequence shown.
5. NOTE: Lubricate the inner lip of the rear crankshaft seal with Ford Super Premium SAE 5W30 Motor Oil XO-5W30-QSP or equivalent meeting
Ford specification WSS-M2C153-G.
Use the Rear Crankshaft Seal Replacer and the Rear Crankshaft Seal Adapter to install the rear main seal.
