I would really appreciate hearing from people with experience doing this
task.
BJ8 with clutch and flywheel removed.
Engine has had the rear main oil seal conversion done some time ago. Now
leaking badly. Objective is to replace the lip seal. Am assuming it was a
Moss one. It looks similar - is there a way to positively identify the
source of the original conversion kit ?
Were there other kits available around, say 20 years ago ?
So have loosened the 4 x cap screws that secure the upper and lower housing
to the back plate. The housing is now loose. Struggling to remove the cap
screws. Their heads seem too big to come out the flywheel bolt holes ? Need
to move housing forward so then can loosen the screws that secure the top
and lower housings together.
Next move would be to move crankshaft a few degrees to give more clearance
- nervous screws may drop into a bad location !
So ideas/thoughts please ?
Moss have a replacement lip seal that will order and will assume will fit
as doubt that there are many variations.
Thank you
