YB Rear Crank Seal Installing Tool
 
Anyone know where you can either hire or buy one of these? The Workshop Manual quotes number 21-011-D. Found nothing on the web and the main dealers aren't much help.
Any help much appreciated.

Dont know where to get the tool but when you fit the seal be sure to use some sealant on the outside edge befofre you press it fully home.I had a problem with mine and it came out!You dont need the tool just make sure the seal is sat level when in and dont be afraid to give it a light tap with a piece of wood and a hammer.

Hi,

No need a special tool.
Just be carefull with lip, as usual.

you can use the backside of an old seal :top:

Many thanks for the replies. Knowing my luck it will be a right bugger to fit and I'll end up damaging it. So a mate of mine is going to turn something out of PTFE to push the seal in. I'll put some sealant on the outside edge, thanks for the tip.

when I bought my full gasket set from cosworth, they supplied one of these fitting tools in the kit, try phoning them maybe they sell them separate and by the look of it they wouldnt cost much.
