I am replacing the rear oil seal. I have dropped the oil pan and slid out the rear seal as described in the manual. I have replaced the rope seal in the holder and now can't get it to slide back into the block around the crank. Any tricks to getting this done. I have debated taking the whole think apart, but I have an old dearborn loader on it and don't have the ability to take it off (at least that I know of) to do a split.

Any Ideas would help thanks. Michael

Drop the crank, do it right. Used 1 of those tools on a Pontiac motor 2x and neither lasted very long. Tool stretches the rope seal as you pull and it ends up being too small in dia. Clue is that you end up having to cut the length. On the Trans Am I ended up dropping the crank the 3rd time and it stayed for another 40,000 miles.

See if you can get a tool called "Sneaky Pete" at a real auto parts store. I bought one to change out the rear main seal on my '73 455 Buick. I believe that "Sneaky Pete" is made by Lisle Tools and includes a removal tool and a reinstall tool. The install tool works much better than the removal tool. You slip a cable around the crankshaft in the oil seal groove, slip in a pull handle, and clamp onto the new oil seal. Then you just slowly pull the new seal in position. Make sure the new seal is well lubed.

If you have gotten the old seal out, Sneaky Pete should work to install the new top half of the rear main seal. Good luck! GA Jim

Hope you have better luck than I did when I replaced my seal. Only way I could get mine back in place was to drop the crank. I think any other way you try will be difficult if not impossible. Be sure to let us know what works for you.
Thanks.

There is a special tool that is available in auto parts stores resembling what we used to call 'Chinese Handcuffs'. You can pass the end of it around the crank and insert the seal in the other end to pull it through. I used one years ago and it worked. Oil the seal first.
