renault4 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 just bought an original crank rear oil seal (ERR2532) and it came with a white plastic insert? wtf? is this to aid fitting? if so can someone talk me through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 You leave the plastic funnel in place while you fit the seal - it prevents the seal lip from being damaged/reversing itself when you install it. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renault4 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 what's your hand pressing against? I thought I had to fit the seal into the flywheel housing first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 My pic is for the 300TDi - is that not the engine you are asking about? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Same application though - the plastic funnel is there to prevent lip damage. Once the seal is fitted (or at least over the end of the crank), remove it. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
