Using a knife, cut the oil seal lip, place a rag into the housing and then carefully lift the oil seal out of the oil seal housing with a screwdriver, and clean the gasket mounting surfaces. To install, remove any oil in the oil seal housing and grease the oil seal and the housing with clean engine oil. Insert the oil seal into the housing, making sure it is even with the edge of the rear cover by hammering and pressing with a large diameter piece of pipe. Lastly, fit the clutch/flywheel assembly or flex plate where necessary, re-fit the transaxle transmission, lower the car and reconnect the negative battery cable.
