I'm in the middle of a multi-week project on my Ranger. Among other things, I need to replace the clutch, flywheel, and rear main seal.
In reading about the rear main seal, a few people have mentioned using a tool to seat the seal. Others have said it is not necessary but I don't want to risk a bad installation on a part that is so difficult to get to.
The part number I found is:
OTC 7834
https://www.amazon.com/OTC-7834-Rear-Crankshaft-Installer/dp/B000RMMS9W/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Problem is in compatibility it lists only 1993+ 4.0 engines.
Is there a specific tool for the 92 and earlier 4.0? Or should they all be the same? Can't seem to find a compatible part #.
Thanks.
