Default Re: Transmission or Clutch?

Never try using a Blind Hole puller on this type of flywheel bearing.

The bearing looks to be a stamped cylinder so the rim is folded in with a seal/grommet/spring to contain the rollers. By using this tool all I managed to do was unroll the folded/flanged rim making it impossible to remove from the front side.

So I went ahead and removed the flywheel since the bearing was totally screwed. Banged the bearing out from the other side using a socket. Guess I'll be using the new flywheel after all. Hope it fits.

Also a bit concerned with the amount of oil around the crankshaft oil seal and all over that compartment in general. Should I change the rear oil seal?

Bonus from Service Manual: "The rear crankshaft oil seal cannot be replaced separately. The end cover and seal are assembled at the factory and must be replaced as a set."

This can't be true? I can't find anywhere to get an End Cover/Oil Seal combo, all I can find are rear crankshaft oil seals. Even Autozone lists them. Autozone Rear Seal

After looking a bit more at the rear seal it looks more like the rear end cover is leaking from the right side.

Any opinions?
