Petefeet Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hi, appreciate any help, I am building my 68 gt6 and am about to reattach the gearbox to the engine, I have cleared out the old bell housing oil seal( using a blow torch to burn the bugger out) but now the new one is a problem, I can't find anywhere that tells me which way up it should go, or if it even matters, and it doesn't seem to fit in the hole in my oil seal housing??? Does it need driving into place, or do I have the wrong size, I would say that the diameter is approx 1 MM too big meaning it won't sit in the hole. Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 First have you removed the metal rim of the old seal, if you burnt out what should be a simpletap it out operation you may have some residual junk still left in the boreyou can tap the front cover out of the clutch hsg its a seperate part which is again a light tap it in fitthe lip on the seal must face the oil side ,pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petefeet Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hi thanks PeteYou were right the metal rim was still in place, the replacement I have is a nylon seal so I didn't realise the metal was part of the old seal, I thought it was part of the bell housing! I have fitted the new seal, can you confirm is this the right way up? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
