Hey little tip or note please don't use the same screw method to install the new seal please no oh god noooohhhh just saying you never know there's some daredevil techs out there 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@NutsandBoltswithTone show us that tool. Ive never seen anything like that. Only a standard punch. Personally I have some mahogany wood blocks of various sizes and thicknesses. I usually tap seals in using a small dead blow hammer.
I’ve used this method it works but I literally just pulled my rear main seal same technique but used the rear side of a hammer to pull it out worked like butter and no pressure on the crank 💪🏾
Not gonna lie I winched a bit when your needle nose made contact with the crankshaft, but no harm no foul. I use a slide hammer but yea self tapping screws come in clutch.
@@MechanicalTriage if you damage the surface it could damage the new seal prematurely. I suppose it would depend on where you pry. Good practice to just avoid it.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone how would it be possible to damage the engine O-ring remover tools have no sharp points or edges, used them on many engines and components have never damaged or scarred anything using them.
Not sure if you noticed that this isn't an O ring that can be removed with a hook or pick. If you have never changed a main seal, don't give advice on something you know nothing about. Im not a mechanic but I did replace the main pulley seal on the timing cover and this would have saved me a lot of trouble. Not sure if they are all similar but the seal had a metal band in it and was made with a very stiff rubber or compound.
@@NutsandBoltswithToneI'm taking his advice about being careful about what advice you take in by not taking his advice to use O-Ring hooks and picks to remove a main bearing seal.
@AD-1138 Don't assume because the guy says something, and another contradicts what he says as the person making the video is the one who is the professional. Not all mechanics are created equal. I remove seals, o-ring all the time, and I'm sure much more often than you or the guy making this video and have not damaged any components. So hush little sheep because you have no clue what you are talking about. I've worked with ppl who have been mechanics 20 years, and you would think every day is their first day. Take what advise you will and throw the rest out as garbage.
No, sometimes the seal is stuck, and the screw will not pull it out. This method does work sometimes, but the video is misleading. It will never be this easy.
Depends on the engine I believe a Jeep is a two piece seal. If you do it correctly it should last for a while unless the seal is no good or poor quality. You can message me on instagram for specifics
You could have a bad pcv valve or clogged crank case breather. Building crank case pressure is a likely cause for repeated rear main failures. Or it could be as simple as it wasn't done very well the first time.
Haha that is because I was using the angled pliers for leverage to get seal to move, then my Snap On pliers to grab it and pull it out. Also doing it one handed because I was filming.
@justicemcdonald2939 honestly I did that quite a while ago. Remember I'm not working while someone is filming me, I am working one handed while making sure I stay in frame.
@@silvac196 think about the customer paying for a job done professionally with the proper equipment and skills not screw wound into or onto the crankshaft end cap
Or you know... just dont fuck it up. A "proper mechanic" should be able to use this method especially if it saves everyone time and money. I learned this method from a guy who was in the industry for 35 years and this was 20+ years ago.
Im a proper mechanic. Use a seal puller. Less risk of the screw scratching the crank or block. If you dont have the tool to take it out id hate to see how the new one goes in.
Another tip- clean the area before removing the seal.
Nah, just blast the dirt in with brake clean. Thats why we got oil filters. 😂

Haha yeah won't be doing that. I have a special oval shaped punch I use from mac.
LOL Dude that is cruel. 😂

@@fixitallpaul4847 will do, I'll post a new short showing you the tool stay tuned
I was gonna do this, thanks for saving me the time....;)
Now that I know this, I am basically a mechanic. LOL!!! Learn to be a mechanic with Tone guys! Great channel right here.
Thank you Ed and yeah your on your way.
Good tip! Been using this one for years. 👍👍
I’ve used this method it works but I literally just pulled my rear main seal same technique but used the rear side of a hammer to pull it out worked like butter and no pressure on the crank 💪🏾
And then check to see if the aluminum plate that holds the rear main oil seal has any seals behind it.
Not gonna lie I winched a bit when your needle nose made contact with the crankshaft, but no harm no foul. I use a slide hammer but yea self tapping screws come in clutch.
I actually pry against the crankshaft. Sometimes. Can someone explain to me how that could possibly damage anything. ?? I don’t think that could.
@@MechanicalTriage if you damage the surface it could damage the new seal prematurely. I suppose it would depend on where you pry. Good practice to just avoid it.
Same for crank seals on small engines
WOW, Nice trick there tone.
Genius 🦅🕊️🦁
Yup, I do it that way too
Or you can put 2 screws one on each side if its tight so you have better leverage
I use a flathead screwdriver. Mama always said I was as bright as a flat screwdriver. …
Lol
I did that and scratched tf outta the crank
This is what shade tree “mechanics” do 😂 true mechanics have tools for this 😂
sure
see you never heard of O-ring hooks and picks. People watch advice you ingest from others.
That is not a good idea unless you want to damage the engine

GOLD!

I'm doing the same job rn. Oil pan and rear main seal. How many hours do u charge
Off hand I am not sure, if you send me the vehicle on Instagram I can look it up at work. Good luck.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone2004 grand marquis. Hoping I don’t have to drop the engine. Fun stuff being poor 😂
As many as possible
Do u have to put silicone or in dry
Definitely not silicone. Some manufactures require Dry some require lubricate. But never silicone
Do we have to remove the transmission
Yes on every vehicle because the engine attaches to the transmission at the rear.
How common is this issue ? because mine is a 2018 and this probably the second one I’m replacing my Jeep is barely 65k miles

This is how Cummins isx service calls for except there is a plate and three self tappers
I'm just really fucking confused on why you switched pliers was that for theatrics
Haha that is because I was using the angled pliers for leverage to get seal to move, then my Snap On pliers to grab it and pull it out. Also doing it one handed because I was filming.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone Yes but you could have just literally used the same pliers and pulled out It would take an extra steps there buddy
@justicemcdonald2939 honestly I did that quite a while ago. Remember I'm not working while someone is filming me, I am working one handed while making sure I stay in frame.
Do you recommend of the car has 150k and it has never been change?
Honestly I would not replace it unless it is leaking
You mean drop a transmission out of a car to replace a seal that is not leaking? Are you kidding?
@@stevemccooleq I would not remove transmission to replace a seal if it's not leaking
@@NutsandBoltswithTone Absolutely, that would be insane.
I have never liked pulling out
I actually used to dread removing them before discovering this method.
I'm seeing a lot of these main seal videos . People must be driving cars a lot longer
The record hot summer heat cycles are destroying seals and gaskets
@@velvetypotato711 IDK temps are only 10 degrees above normal but yes maintenance is key to longevity
Is this on a tractor?
Looks like a Detroit engine. Not sure tho in what application.
If you own a garage then you should own a seal puller
Well I actually do own seal pullers, but seal pullers do not work on this.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone I think they do as a garage owner and mechanic I can confirm one of the several I own does
but think about it what was really cheaper and still works to remove it, a 10 cent screw or 40 buck seal puller
@@silvac196 think about the customer paying for a job done professionally with the proper equipment and skills not screw wound into or onto the crankshaft end cap
What motor is that? Subaru?
6.7 powerstroke
@@NutsandBoltswithTone it looks like its too close to the edge. Is the oil pan off.
Seal puĺler
They have a tool for that. So you dint fuck up the crank. This is a lesson to hire a proper mechanic.
