Crankshaft Seal Retainer: Service and Repair

NOTE: The end cover closes the main oil gallery, so that special care must be used during installation. Ensure that the sealing surfaces of the end cover and the crankcase are without score marks.

The threaded holes in the crankshaft flange are throughholes. With bolts removed and the engine inclined, engine oil will run out.

Removal







1 Remove transmission.

NOTE: The ring gear remains on the engine when removing the transmission.

2 Remove driven plates.





3 Remove end cover.

A threaded hole M 8 is provided on each side to facilitate removal of a tightly seated end cover (arrows).

Installing:
4 Carefully clean sealing surfaces at crankcase and at closing cover.
5 Apply an even coat of sealant to sealing surface of closing cover, ensuring that no sealant gets into the oil circuit.
6 Fill radial seal with engine oil between dust and sealing lips.
7 Push closing cover with radial seal over the screwed-in insertion tool and screw on.

NOTE: Pay attention to different bolt lengths.
