Philistine Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Is the rear main seal on a 2.5l a two piece? I got the lower gasket kit from the local dealership and the RMS in the kit is a single piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemsee Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 It is one piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philistine Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Crap. Looks like I'll have to pull back the transmission then to replace it. I was hoping it was a two piece like the 4.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 no such luck. :( but on the plus side, there far less chance of injuring the seal upon installation and then having to do it twice. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I just did the RMS on my 2.5, super easy once the engine is out/tranny pulled. Just pry out the old one being carfull not to score the crank, and tap in the new one using a socket/piece of pipe/punch. You shouldn't hurt the seal because it taps in real easy.

My HOA would probably send me a nasty letter if I were to pull the engine in the street. Not that I could anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
