![]() ![]() VAG does not make the crank any other way. The whole point is, if you get the correct crank timing tool in the correct spot, there is one bolt that will be in line with the mark on the seal's mounting plate and the hole in seal itself. There are dual overhead cams, but I believe they are probably align with the later BMM, BRM, etc. Otherwise, there are two different VAG tools one fits the BRM, BMM etc., the other fits the older engines, like the BEW, BHW. I don't know what you are doing to mis-align the crank, but with the universal crank lock, there are two different settings. The ring installer avoids the potential risk of folding the PTFE seal backwards when pushed into place. If you look very closely, you can see the seal spreading tool makes the seal wider than the journal for an easy fit. how the seal is spread properly and centered to make the job very simple. Btw: we use a bit of high temperature RTV on the bottom of the seal housing, to be sure it doesn't leak from that point.Īnd last, something you will rarely see when installing this seal. This shows how it looks on the crankshaft, ready to push into place. The size of the ALH and the later PD's journal are exactly the same size, so the device works equally well for both applications. This is the typical ALH rear main seal and it's install seal spreader: We also prefer to use the seal install part that we keep around from the Elring or Reinz ALH rear main seals, as it centers the seal from the hub of the crankshaft and spreads the seal better and more centered than the device that comes with the usual BRM rear main seal. ![]() ![]() As I show, it is plenty easy enough to line up the dots. It is more likely to get you off kilter than to get it in place properly. Get the first part right and then, if you think you need the yellow pull tab, go ahead, but my eyeballs are more accurate than that yellow piece. NOT ONLY is there no need to keep that reluctor ring in place or use that yellow 'alignment tool', but keeping the ring in place may prevent you from properly installing the teflon seal over the crank journal. At very least, you give the impression that the reluctor ring needs to stay in place when installing the seal. Now, we beg to differ with you CoolAirVw. I hadn't looked to this post for a while, but a customer was interested, so I did.ĬoolAir you revise a post a year later? I thought I agreed with your post before. ![]()
