[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 8561386, member: 8854"] My answer to installing the rear main seal. A board of wood and froze the seal in the freezer for about 4 hours. Tapped it in with some oil after cleaning the plate up. [IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=115&mode=view[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=116&mode=view[/IMG] Hopefully most guys on here already know we have two serpentine belts up front on the motor but if you're new to these cars/motors yes they do. Here's how the inner belt runs. I don't have the a/c compressor or power steering pump in place as they are still in the car attached. [IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=117&mode=view[/IMG] Here's how it looks when you have all the outer brackets installed and second serpentine belt. [IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=118&mode=view[/IMG] Getting that second lower crank pulley on required torquing it down to 74 ft/lb (left hand thread) so I got some flat bar and drilled two holes in it and bolt it up to the rear of the crank. I then let it lock up against the engine stand to prevent the crank from turning. Worked great. [IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=119&mode=view[/IMG] Getting close. Motor is almost ready to go back in the car :) [/QUOTE]
