2003 H6 new crank pulley oil seal- anything to watch out for?


Recommended Posts

Has not been a good day- dropped the NEW pulley (it slipped off the shaft so easy all of a sudden I lost my grip on it) at it took out about an inch of the outer flange- heh, how critical is it that it be balanced? Going to find out...

 

I also was tapping the seal in and it went in a skosh further than intended.

 

Oh joy...

take an inch out of the other side?

 

that thing seems kinda brittle doesn't it?

 

(sounds like something that would happen to me)

I filed the edges with great care.

 

If I have lead a virtuous life the fact that I put the seal in a skosh too far will move the seal away from where the old seal rubbed the pulley and leaked...

 

There are small divots where the pulley has been balanced by drilling away a tiny bit of material, so it was balanced at some point.
