When installing the front oil seal on an old-style crankshaft, you can use a pipe resting against the outer diameter of the oil seal. In the center of this device is a bolt designed to be screwed into the hole in the crankshaft nose. By screwing in the bolt, the oil seal is pressed in. If you do not have such a device, you can use a piece of pipe of the appropriate diameter. Only attach a washer to its end. Select a long bolt with the appropriate thread and screw it into the crankshaft nose, pressing in the oil seal.
When installing the front oil seal on a crankshaft with a modified nose design, it is necessary to use the bushing shown in Figure 86, which is put on the crankshaft journal. Lubricate the working edge of the oil seal and put it on the specified bushing. Attach device #3083 to the bushing and screw the bolt into the crankshaft nose, pressing the oil seal in. After completing the operation, remove the bushing and the device.

When replacing the rear seal, carefully place it on the toe without damaging the working edges. Then use either the special mandrel 2003/1 or a round washer (see figure 89) with a through hole for the crankshaft journal. Screw this mandrel to the flywheel with two bolts. Tightening both bolts evenly, install the oil seal in place. All other actions are performed in the reverse order of disassembly.
