rear main seal
 

how do u change the rear main seal on a 90 integra ls.... its leakin like a bitch... madd oil

i bought that seal and new oil pan gasket... what all do i need to take off to change it... and do i need any special tools.... how do i change it out? so it wont leak anymore

you have to drop the tranny and remove the clutch and flywheel and there it is you dont need to remove the Oil pan even but you do need a good set of impact sockets and a impact gun other than that you just need your basic set of tools its not the easiest job to do and will take a while to do

What he said. Dont attempt this one unless your really mechanically inclined :) THat seals reaaal touchy

ohhh and you need a seal puller or a 90 degree pick to get the seal out and X2 To integra LS its a Hard job to someone not mechanically inclined

well i've swapped motors... and trannys... clutches & flywheels alot just never had to change that seal... i didnt even ever notice it being behinde the flywheel....

i bought it... like a circle thick donut lookin gasket... wierd shit....

yup thats it have fun changing it and dont lube it up to put it on either or it will always leak

can u tell me what tools i'll need... what size sockets and everything... i havent worked on a honda in sooooo long...

10 12 14 17 19 32mm sockets
and a seal puller.

Add other misc tools you should have in your garage like extensions etc.

If you have done transmissions before, its the same as that + removal of flywheel and its sitting right there

oh and the most important step is to throw it on the ground and give it a good stomp...

thats only if the seal kicked your ass for longer hehe

I've replaced one with the engine in the car but I'm sure its no harder than with the engine outta the car... but it sucks either way.


Good luck.
