Seal presses in from the front side on a steel cover. Use a large socket or piece of pipe that is just slightly smaller than the O.D. of the seal to tap the seal in after putting a light film of Permatex Aviation goop around the O.D. of the seal. The open part of the seal (usually with a spring on it) goes to the oily side of the motor. I usually try to place a short length of tubing behind the seal hole that is slightly larger in o.d. than the seal hole to support the sheet metal and not bend it up.Last edited by techinspector1; 10-30-2008 at 12:00 PM.
