    The injectors seem fine and I did the ATF fuel filter tip and let it sit overnight cranked a lot smoother in the morning. I ended up ripping out the trans and redoing the flywheel as the DMF was shot so I’m still in the middle of that, but when it’s all put back together I’ll need to adjust the...

    Rear main seal replacement

    Update: the speedi-sleeve fit and went on pretty easy the ***** was peeling that back part off (instructions said to if it was near the case) The plate was a bit tricky and I spent about an hour second guessing myself and hyping myself up at the same time, but it went on pretty smoothly I used a...

    Rear main seal replacement

    I found some torque specs on other threads and have a pretty good idea for the important “can’t get to spots” after they're installed

    Rear main seal replacement

    All my parts came in I’m tackling the beginning of reinstall tomorrow morning (crank sleeve and rear plate with seal) does anyone know if there are torque specs for the plate an do I need to use some sort of adhesive on the sleeve to the crank? I read somewhere someone mentions aircraft...

    I don’t think mine has ever been changed I had to break apart the rubber/plastic down tube and dig it out. It was so brittle it had no give to unthread from the crankcase opening. I’m just going to replace the entire setup Swagperformave has the replacement on eBay for like $70 with OEM tube and...

    Rear main seal replacement

    Keep in mind these are both in the 1993 F-250 7.3 NA subsection, but if you look at the outer diameter measurements sleeve 99387 is bigger and that’s the one I just sent back. When I opened it to verify the part I ordered it says all the same infor, but for an F-350 that’s the only difference I...

    Rear main seal replacement

    Ya I looked again at my order and it was for an F-350 same year same motor. After double checking outer diameter sizes it was definitely a larger speedi sleeve.

    Rear main seal replacement

    Well the crank sleeve I received is for an F-350 of the same year it was in the F-250 section on Rockauto. I had no clue they were larger I thought the only differences were drivetrain 3/4 to 1 ton. I had to return that and get the right one so I won't be getting back on this until Monday or...

    Rear main seal replacement

    Should I be using some sort of loctite on the crank itself? And the speedi seal that came with my kit has a flange on the back obviously for installing it does that need to be pealed off after it’s in place I’ve seen it removed and left on?

    Rear main seal replacement

    I apologize I won’t use talk to text anymore while driving! I’m not even sure what I meant to say after re-reading that. I ended up getting it all off and gave it a carb cleaner bath to dry thoroughly overnight. The. Speedi sleeve came this afternoon so I will start reassembling everything let’s...

    Rear main seal replacement

    I was able to use a small screwdriver and hand pressure chisel the rest out she’s all cleaned up and the seal is pressed in from the hydraulic shop. I spent the day cleaning up the t-case and ZF-5 degreasing and cleaning mating surfaces, also making more lists of **** that needs to be replaced...

    Rear main seal replacement

    I have a rag taped, the best I can to prevent any garbage falling in the pan. I don’t think that wheel would get in there. I almost need like an extremely small wire wheel for a Dremel. It’s tiny.

    Rear main seal replacement

    I just dropped off the plate at a hydraulic shop miraculously they have the old rotunda kit so it will be done right. I’m prepping all the surfaces now for the crank sleeve. It should arrive today. I do have a question for anybody that’s willing to give insight, how imperative is it to get every...
