Batteries can emit explosive gases. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, always ventilate the compartment before servicing the batteries. To reduce the possibility of arcing, remove the negative (-) battery cable first and attach the negative (-) battery cable last.

NOTE: On some vessels, it can be necessary to lift the engine to replace the rear crankshaft seal.
Use extreme care when releasing the oil pan gasket from the rear cover to prevent damage to the gasket. If the gasket is damaged, the oil pan must be removed and the gasket replaced. 007-025 in Section 7.
Remove the four lubricating oil pan mounting capscrews which secure the oil pan to the rear cover.
Insert a feeler gauge or shim stock between the rear cover and the oil pan gasket. Move the feeler gauge or the shim stock back and forth to release the gasket from the rear cover.
Do not nick or gouge the crankshaft with the chisel. If the crankshaft is damaged, it must be replaced.
Use a dull chisel that is only as wide as the wear sleeve.
Make one or two soft blows with a hammer to make chisel marks across the wear sleeve. This will expand the wear sleeve allowing the sleeve to be removed.
NOTE: Do not use any kind of lubricant to install the seal. The oil seal must be installed with the lip of the oil seal and the crankshaft clean and dry to make sure of proper oil sealing.
The combination crankshaft oil seal (A) wear sleeve (B) replacement kit for service usage is installed on the crankshaft as an assembly. The crankshaft rear oil seal should not be removed from the crankshaft rear seal wear sleeve.
NOTE: If the oil pan is installed, loosen the oil pan capscrews to allow clearance for rear cover and gasket clearance.
Install the rear cover and gasket.
The seal installation is being used to properly align the rear cover. Do not push or force the cover in any direction to prevent irregular seal lip position after seal installation.
The oil seal for a wet flywheel housing requires soap on the outside diameter of the seal case. Nothing is required on the outside diameter of the seal case for dry housings.
Use a Rear Seal/Sleeve Installer, Part Number 3824078, to install oil seal/wear sleeve assembly. Install two (2) threaded studs into the crankshaft capscrew holes.
Apply a small amount of clean 15W-40 engine oil to the crankshaft, threaded studs, and inside diameter of the crankshaft rear seal/wear sleeve installation tool.
