Hi All-

I am about to replace my rear main engine seal.  I am wondering about a 
couple of the details:

1.) Bentley recommends coaing the seal with grease inserting it into the 
seal housing and wiping away the excess.  Do I coat all surfaces of the oil 
seal with grease or just the surface that interfaces the crankshaft?  What 
kind of grease should be used?

2.) Any torque recommendation for the seal housing?  I don't see one in 
Bentley.

Regards,
John Cyg.
