My last post about changing a standard rear crank seal in place did not get
posted to the list, I hope that this one makes it.
It can be done, and with the early TR2/3 flywheel it can be done with the
gearbox and flywheel in place.
The later flywheel has to be removed to clear the rear main cap and
attached seal. The basic procedure is to align the cap half of the seal to
the
cap with the correct alignment tool: 2.818" dia. inside a good seal;
scribe alignment marks across the seal split line to the upper half of the
seal to position the upper half once it is in place. All the normal steps
must be taken to clean and seal the project. This is not an enjoyable
job, but I have done it to save another TR owner. I used the standard rear
crank seal for 25 seasons of Nationally racing my TR3, and the only issue was
created by the TR2/3 and TR4 Factory Manual having the incorrect size
where the alignment tool fits inside the seal I.D.
