    Do a screw like that on the top and bottom of the seal, so you can pry from one side, then another. Will come out easier.

    Nice Tip.
    So installing spark plug tube seals can be done with a bolt and washers on a removed valve cover instead of buying a bearing/seal install tool. it just takes longer but cost a lot less. And here i was going to use a socket and hammer to drive it home. I like this better.

    Ver cool idea with the PVC pipe, I have plenty of scrap PVC laying around here and will be using my miter saw to get the even cuts/edges and a little sandpaper to smooth them out so to not have sharp burs. Thanks for the video!

    Good video but very frustrating watching you work with one hand while the other is operating the camera, especially the one handed screwdriver routine. Possibly a small tripod for the camera ?

    • @TheOriginalMechanic
      @TheOriginalMechanic  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the constructive criticism. I have always used a tripod but these must have been situations where I couldn't for some reason. I agree, one hand on tool and the other holding camera does not result in a good steady shot.

    Nicely done on the install. Just what I was looking for. Replacing mine I rushed it by using PVC and a hammer. Mounted in crooked, ruining the new seal. Now ordering a. new one and will press it in there s way. Thanks for the good video.
    Where do you get your parts for hest quality and price?

    Good video, had to do this myself several times. I use petroleum jelly for assembly lube on seals, o-rings and most engine parts with great success. I also like to check the inner seal surfaces with a dental pick to make sure I haven't rolled the inner surfaces.

      Automotive bearing grease works fine. I don't know about red and tacky though.

    Put those seals in the freezer a few hours before installing. Quickly install them while they're still cold and they will drop in like butter.

      I just did the freezing cv axle seal a couple days ago, I just stuck mine in a handful of snow in 12 f. temps we are having right now, I knew about it a long time ago, and yes it does work. When you chill metal it shrinks, therefore allowing the seal to slip into the housing much easier than when it is warm.

  • @john009534

    How to put a new seal in place, as I tried once with some shots of hammer but it'll damaged my seal and got a new one but don't have such a thing that you have to push it back in place that was the main horrible part of replacing seal diy any suggestions bro.

      That's usually a head gasket, which requires an extensive tear down of the engine.

    • @richardrichardsen6611
      @richardrichardsen6611 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most folks don't have a slide hammer or a trunion puller...but. Use a longer screw and after threading it in use an adjustable wrench or a claw hammer that can span the shaft of the screw but not clear the head. Give it a snap upward and out comes the seal.

      No, a seal can't fall off. Make sure it's oil. That may be brake fluid or power steering fluid.

      You just pour seal removal fluid in your trans and let it warm up for 20 minutes. Shut off engine for 10 minutes. Start it up and run it 3 times for exactly 5 minutes each... then it will be gone.

    Does everyone lube the entire seal. I put lithium on the entire seal on my Generac engine. And it still leaks. It's just a hair beyond flush. It's even as I love-tapped in with a plastic pipe.

    • @TheOriginalMechanic
      @TheOriginalMechanic  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't think a little grease would make a seal leak. I would wonder if your seal was machined wrong. You may want to try another.
