i am replacing the harmonic balancer on an 89 tride and true i6 and know that i need to replace the crankcase seal where do i set the seal and do i need a special tool to replace it, i have the frt end tore apart and im already in the timing cover i have new gaskets and seal. thanks for any or all the info i need

 

There is a install tool #6139 that presses the seal into place. Or just tap it in to the same depth that it was before which is about flush with the snout on the cover.

 

thanks 4 the info and will get back to you on the repair. RUBBER SIDE DOWN!!!

 

if in dought always remeber the rubber side faces the oil.............you can use a big socket or a piece of 2x4 to press the seal into the timing chaing cover.

 

well the seal is in and aswell as all gaskets and is running with no lesks or problems THANKS AGAIN!!! i used the same tool that presses the hb in i used two over sized washers with a 2'' piece of exhaust pipe, putting the seal in place and then a washer the pipe and then the other washer on the press and worked just fine. just added bg moa to a fresh oil change yesterday and going to do plugs wire cap rotor etc. today, in hopes of snowbashing next weekend or chinamans gulch for those who know the colorado trails, and i heard there coming along pretty well with the new carnage outside of lefthand canyon.
