You really must use the special tool to fit the new type seal it holds the seal away from the Crankshaft whilst you fit the seal , the lip is probably turned over on itself .
Afternoon Clan,Can the fitting tool be purchased at the parts counter? How many Shekels? Not that I need one, but listening to the tales of woe, it would be worth its weight in,,,,, if doing the rear crank seal,otherwise a bit like Russian roulette. BTW thank you for all the info. you give, often think ah,Clan will probably know! and lo and behold....

Regards.
