I was going to replace my rear main seal tomorrow. I did a search to get some information and it seems that even new ones may leak if not done with the special tool. I was going to use a piece of pipe or tap it in going in circles around the seal.
My dilemma is that I don't think it is leaking, but I was going to do it as preventative maintenance because my engine has been out because I did the timing chains.
Should I follow the the old "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?
My truck has just about 205,000 miles on it and we bought it with 36,000 on it and I know that it hasn't been done in the ten years we have had it.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks for the input and help. It is always appreciated.
