M103 rear crank seal
Is the special tool absolutely necessary to replace the rear crank seal of an M103 or can it be tapped into place?
Would it be better to remove the seal carrier and press the seal in off the car? Is there a risk of tearing the oil pan gasket? Thanks, Sixto 91 300SE 87 300SEL

Actually, what leaks in there (besides the rear main) is a large O-ring seal inside the front pump. I wouldn't mess with the trans input seal without having a pro go in and do the job right. I've been here several times with my M103 TE
