26.2 Crankshaft rear oil seal location (arrowed)
3 Clean the oil seal housing, then fit the new oil seal using two flywheel/driveplate securing bolts and a tool similar to that shown (see illustration).
26.3 Using a special tool to fit the crankshaft rear oil seal - 1.8 litre
(R2A)
A suitable tool can be improvised using a narrow strip of metal sheet bent to form a circle of the correct diameter, and a large metal disc with appropriate holes drilled to allow the flywheel/driveplate securing bolts to pass through. Make sure that the seal lip faces into the engine and lightly smear the lip with clean engine oil.
4 Refit the flywheel/driveplate.
