Rear crankshaft seal replacement, 2.25ltr petrol, 3 bearing

I've removed gearbox, clutch, flywheel, flywheel housing and the lower crankshaft oil seal retainer. The top oil seal retainer won't budge. Is there a trick to this? Something I'm not seeing perhaps? Any tips regarding the use of silicone sealant in this area would also be appreciated.

Cheers,

Russell :unsure:

You've not really picked the best way to do the job and have it all seal when it's reassembled.

It's enough of a pain when the engine is out and sitting on its nose.

From what I remember, with the bolts out of the top retainer, a little percussive motion with a soft hammer should see it start moving.

Proper cork T seals for the rear main bearing cap are a good idea too.
