Rear Main Seal

I've already ruined 2. Can anyone give me a tip on how to install one properly? Oh, and the bearings in the fork, can I get them out and put new ones in, or do I need a press?

It's pretty easy once you get the kinks worked out.

1: Make sure the sealing surfaces are spotlessly clean - go in with a razor blade and scrape any crap off.

2: Lubricate the seals with oil - I put some on the inner and outer faces of the seal.

3: You can drive it in with the porsche special tool, which costs around $150, or, you can drive it in using a small block of wood (a 2 x 2 x 4 works perfectly) Drive the seal in flush with the engine case.
