Question?

Works fine, but make sure you know what you are doing when installing this seal. The other seal (ELRING KLINGER Crankshaft Seal (75 X 61 X 8 mm) 11117568264) comes with a plug that simulates the seal being correctly installed around the crankshaft. This does not have the plug and you must use lightly oiled fingers to slowly stretch the flexible webbing on the inside of the seal INWARD, toward the crankshaft. Once the seal has been stretched inward you will need to hook as much as you can on the crankshaft and then very carefully use a pick tool going to slide the rest inward. If you just slide this seal over the crankshaft (think putting on a turtleneck sweater) you have installed it incorrectly and it will continue to leak and you're going to have to do it again.
