ISSUE:
A redesigned tool for installation of rear main seals is available and must be used for all rear main seal replacements. Prior released tools (T72C-6165) and (T72C-6165-R) must not be used. Usage of obsolete tools may cause oil leaks due to seal damage, crankshaft journal damage or mispositioning of the seal.





ACTION:
If an oil leak is detected, refer to TSB 94-12-13 for proper diagnosis of the oil leak. If, after diagnosis, it is determined that a new rear main seal needs to be installed, use the procedure found in TSB 94-12-13. Be sure to use the new Rear Oil Seal Replacer Tool (T95T-6701-A) when installing a new rear main seal. Refer to Figure 1 for more details.
