Hello All,
It's time for the winter projects! My buddy and I bought the wheel chock from Harbor Freight for a tear down of the Quota as recommended on a previous posting. And now -the questions start.
When I split the trans from the engine, instead of finding a leaky bearing seal, I found that the culprit to be the main bearing gasket. The case plug and the breather tube areas look fairly dry. I have the tool for extracting the main bearing... I plan on draining the engine and tilting it up so the crank is on the vertical axis.
The shop manual recommends shop tools 12 91 20 00 Flange Assembly Tool and 14 92 71 00 Seal Tool for the installation. Are these necessary? I don't think gasket glue is necessary. Any tips?
thanks, Rafael
