Hey, all that has done this more than I.
I have a friends 044(10mm)with a nasty starboard crank seal, he bought it this way, knowing it would need work. I thought the toughest thing to do, was clean and take it apart, which was a JOB in and of itself, I think it was never cleaned after use. So F FWD to R&R the seals, I have now put the fourth seal in the SB side and it still leaks, not a whole lot, but it leaks!? Now the seals I have(he got)are Mtanlo from Amazon, are these crappy seals or am I just doing something wrong(OE)?
It wouldn't surprise me if it's OE, I have only installed two sets so far, but I have tried installing HIGH and testing, then pushing in deeper, but I can not stop the leaking?
I even tried another collar from another 044 thinking maybe, the collar has a groove...nope, doesn't matter, will not hold pressure, I see bubbles!?
