TJ Rear Main Seal (RMS)

<< < (2/2)

Coqui:
Nope - no wear sleeve.

DirtyJeep92:
Usually most rear man seals come with a sleeve that slides over the crankshaft creating a new surface for the seal to ride on

skibum:
I have seen a sleave for a front crank seal but never for a rear main oil seal. You will have to pull it apart again and inspect crank shaft for any scoring or scratches. Even small scratches will cause a leak and can damage new seal quickly. Some small scratches can be sanded with fine emery paper then followed with krokiss cloth. Its a time consuming job and must be done correctly or will leak. If u dont feel confident doing this then highly recomend you pay a shop to do it. Then if it is still leaking then its there problem.

Coqui:
Thanks for the feedback - going to dig into it to verify the oil pan gasket stayed in place correctly.
