Nick Jones Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Actually, if memory serves it is easier that that.You will have to remove the flywheel and maybe the backplate (hazy on this bit) but you do not have to (indeed it is better not to) disturb the seal housing or sump. You can simply dig out the old seal (don't scratch the crank) and tap in a new one taking care to get it square.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I saw a nice one once!Some clown didn't want to bother REMOVING the old seal, so he just knocked it further in and bodged another one on top!Made a right mess that did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsixCA Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Might be wrong here as i am not too sure if there is a difference between the Mk1 GT6 and Mk3 Gt6 rear seal set-up, as you can see from the picture the seal quite clearly needs to be installed when the housing has been removed due to the counterbore being on the engine side, so i'm afraid the housing needs to come of (again only if the Mk3 is the same as the Mk1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
