Rear crank seal installer
Rear crank seal installer I'm looking for one of the crank seal installers but im not having any luck. If someone knows where I can order one online and has a link that would be great. Thanks!
FYI from what I see of it in my service manual,,,, It is gonna be expensive unless you are a GM service mechanic, it will probably be a 1 time use tool, the tool is a J-41479 in my service manual though, I am sure the stealership can get it for you. I just use a drift-punch and a block of wood and walk the seal into the cover myself.
Hope this helps

Use a PVC pipe cap. I forget if it was here or on performance trucks that I read that, but it worked great. IIRC it is a 3" PVC pipe plug like this 
and it fit perfectly
and it fit perfectly Usually the difference in the material. I know for the lt1 they make a rubber one and a teflon one. For the flywheel bolts put locktight on them and torque them to spec in a star pattern

Yep, I just centered the cover around the crank (doesn`t apply if you are replacing the seal and leaving the cover on the motor). I put the seal over the crank and up against the back cover, put the pipe cap on the back and tapped the back of the pipe cap with a hammer until the seal slid all the way in.
