1975 230.4 rear main seal

Any way to seal the rear crank seal from outside? I mean without dropping the crank?

X2. It's a "rope" type seal. I've never seen one go bad.

And, there is a specific procedure to tighten the pinion nut, after the seal is installed.

You can possibly change the bottom portion of the rope seal without dropping the crank. I have heard of this done on occasion. I do not know if you can get your oil pan off on your model with the engine in the car though. Only fifty fifty chance it will lessen your problem perhaps though.

I think he is referring to the pinion shaft on the differential when one has to remove the pinion flange when doing pumpkin seal....or at least that would fit his posting......

?????????????
