[QUOTE="P49Y-CY, post: 16953343, member: 10216"] you should be fine. just take your time installing it in the cover and over the crank. neither of my terminators needed one when i refreshed their engines, but my 4.6 f-150 engine did and so far the felpro hasn't leaked (but to be fair i only have about 6k on it). i am a rotunda special tools "enthusiast" and i love buying the tools that are called out in the factory service manual. (the more money than brains club lol). to give you an idea of how complicated the two-piece design is, these are the tool #'s that ford specifies to replace the rear main seal: 303-514 slinger remover 303-516 seal installer 303-517 slinger installer 303-518 seal installer 303-519 seal remover i'm sure it's the best and most thorough way to do it, but it's just not necessary, and somehow i doubt dealership techs were doing it this way every time.
