CRANKSHAFT REAR OIL SEAL

Service repair no - 12.21.20

Remove

NOTE: The crankshaft rear oil seal is
retained in its own housing, if the seal
requires replacing, the complete housing

assembly (1) must be renewed. Housing and seal
assemblies are supplied with their own
former/seal guide (2) already fitted. This former
must not be removed before fitting the assembly
to the engine. If a seal and housing assembly is
received without a former/guide fitted it must be
returned to the supplier. Used formers/guides
must be discarded immediately after use, under
no circumstances should they be reused on other
assemblies.

NOTE: A different rear oil seal housing,
with integral ’O’ ring seal and gasket, was
fitted on earlier engines. They must be

replaced with the current housing and gasket (3)
shown below.
