Questions: Have solved my transfer case rear seal leak. Now ready to go after leak at rear of engine. Suspect rear main seal. Can this be done without removing transmission, bell housing, clutch assy, and flywheel?
Question By: Ellis Johnson on Feb 25 2019 4:01 AM
You do not have to drop the engine to replace – just drop the oil pan. Thanks

Questions: Using the red highlight above for rear main oil seal installation shows the seal shoulder on the inside. The service manual for universal Jeep vehicles, on page 46, fig. 58 shows the shoulder on the outside. Confused which is correct?

Questions: To install this seal, i have read in the Q/A that oil pan and crankshaft must be removed. However, the service manual has a note on p. 31 that reads "removal of crankshaft may be accomplished only with the engine out of vehicle"...
Can you confirm this, or is it possible to install seal without pulling engine?
Thanks for your help
Question By: Chris on Jan 23 2018 9:26 PM
You can do it with the engine still in. Typically you can just lower the crankshaft from the bottom. Having the vehicle on a lift is easiest.

I just replaced my real seals using a device called a sneaky pete. I removed the oil pan and rear crankshaft bearing cap and seal, then used the sneaky pete to pull the new seal into place. After a few tries the sneaky pete worked.

Questions: What diameter are the side packing in this kit? Anything over .375 will not fit the military block.
Question By: Kevin DeWitt on Jan 16 2017 10:59 PM
approx. .35" like original. They are for all 4-134 engines.

Questions: Should have added to my previous question, hit wrong key. How far do the side cap seals protrude on a L134?
Question By: Tom Elbert on Aug 10 2016 4:40 AM
The packings should protrude approximately 1/4" from the case. With the oil pan installed, it will force them tightly into the holes and effectively seal any openings.
