Is he press fitting a sleeve over a groove worn crank snout that has been turned to a smaller outside diameter?

There is a product called speedi-sleeve that is a very thin, hard chrome plated sleeve. You can use it with your existing seal. It covers the groove in your existing hub.

You do not have to remove starter to lock flywheel from turning, while removing crank bolt. Just remove rubber bell housing plug, access hole for removing flex-plate bolts. Then turn crank until one of the circular holes in the flywheel appear through hole, then slip an extension with a large socket through the hole, until it bottoms against flex plate, then remove crank bolt.





Entire job takes about twenty minutes.

Brian.
