I picked up a new rear main seal the other day to replace mine while doing the clutch.
It's a fel-pro BS 40619. It came with a metal sleeve.
Anybody have any experience with this particular seal?
There are no instructions or anything on how this should go in, whether you need a special tool or not.
At first I thought speedy sleeve, but it's no speedy sleeve. There's no tear groove to remove the flange after install.
It looks like the flange should go on the outside and actually be driven on with the seal on it.
I did some research and found mentions of this but I haven't found any definitive answers.
Is there a tool special for this part?
Thanks.
ETA: Also, this doesn't seem like the rubber seal, it's brown and is harder than a rubber seal.
