rear main seal replacement?+ flywheel and pressure plate bolt torque?
How hard is it to change it. I've got the tranny and clutch out for a clutch replacement. So I thought I might as well replace the seal . Does it just pop out with a pick or do you have to split the block halves. Also is there a special seal driver to put it back in.
Also Act pressure plate and flywheel bolt torque any one have this Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

my 2 cents, don't replace it, if it's not leaking don't touch it. I have seen people think this wasa good idea and end up gouging a crank in the process then having to do it all over again, and the seal rides in a holder you remove the holder and pop the seal out.

Actually it is leaking! What holder are you talking about. Because all I see is block, seal, crank no holder?
any more info? |

Are you sure it's leaking? There is a plate on the rear passenger side of the motor that covers a wrist pin access hole that VERY commonly leaks. Both hndatch and I have had to go in and reseal ours. It appears as almost a random leak towards the rear of the motor, very hard to track down.

I know for sure that the pressure plate torque is very little, 11-14ft-lb. But I think 45ft-lb for the flywheel.good luck

Went to dealer today got the seal . Couple of bucks, also bought a service manual for the car $30 dollars for the 1 out of 8 that they print for the impreza. All you have to do is pop out the old and use a seal driver to put in the new. Cost of new seal driver $22 (not bad to have laying around). Also I will check the plate in back the one that has "33" stanped in back of it . I'll probably re seal it just for added safety . Anyway thanks for all the info.
