Re: Leaking rear main seal-"Sneaky Pete" tool

I don't have much experience with this, I only changed this type rear seal twice over the years. Used the Chinese torture toy and it worked just fine, though we did remove the spark plugs and loosen all the main bearing caps equally about a turn or two (don't remember how much), though certainly not enough to require pulling the transmission shaft out. If I remember correctly the jobs were done concurrently with replacing the main bearing shells.
