So I am in the process of replacing the rear oil seal (removed my transmission)
I bought a new oil seal retainer, new oil seal and new T seals.
During the oil seal installation. I grease up the oil seal (the entire thing is covered in grease) I put the spring on then slip the spring back into the oil seal then push into the crankshaft
During the installation of the oil seal retainer I turn the engine to get each bolt in. I check to see that seal is pressed up against the crankshaft and it is
I put the rear main bearing cap on and begin to tighten each both I notice that the engine becomes extremely hard to turn.
I got a mirror out and looked to see if the seal was bulging out of the retainer, but it is not.
Concerned that the engine is extremely hard to turn, I take it all back apart and the seal looks fine and go thru the installation steps again -- > engine is extremely hard to turn.
I screwed up the first seal (a 1/4 of the seal had escaped from the split oil seal) I believe it was caused by turning the engine and the seal getting pinched. (I bought 2 more seals from our hosts, just in case)
So my question is, as I tighten the seal should it be very hard to turn the engine?
What am I getting stuck on which makes it so difficult to turn the engine?
