It seems that OEM rear main seals (part number F5TZ-6701-A) have a metal sleeve that is pushed on the crank with the seal. Is this the proper seal to use? Is there another OEM part number that does not have this metal sleeve?
I know there are after market seals that can be used that don't have the sleeve but I have heard a lot of complaints about them leaking. I don't want to have to do this again.
