I am getting ready to pull the engine again. After having broken crankshaft bolts removed by a machinist, I did not replace the rear main seal before reinstalling. Now I see dark oil coming from the rear of the engine compartment. I lifted the cab and no new leaks can be seen and i'm sure it would be clean oil if it was hydraulic oil. Has anyone replaced a rear main on a V1702 - v2203 and do you have any suggestions or tricks for removing and replacing. I have looked on the PDF version of the Service Manual and cannot locate any instructions. Antfarmer suggested replacing the pump rear seal while I was back in there. It is not leaking now. Are they a problem on this model and should I replace it at the same time? I hate to replace things that are not broken cause sometimes it creates more issues. Thanks in advance.
