replacing rear crank seal > gasket goo?

Postby jomo on Sat, 03 Aug 2019 8:52 +0000

Hi,

I'm replacing the clutch on my 2005 Hilux 2.7 petrol so I thought whilst I'm at it, I may as well replace the rear crankshaft seal. I bought a genuine replacement seal from Toyota. I am wondering if it is advisable to use gasket goo (or some other kind of sealant) when installing the new physical seal?

Thanks

I don't like to use anything on them at all as it tends to make everything slippery and hard to get straight. Just make sure all of the surface is clean.

I've known people to wipe the surface that meets the crankshaft with a dab of oil but this is personal preference.

All other faces should be kept clean.
I might be wrong.

Well, the clear consensus is to install the crankshaft seal by itself without any gasket/sealing compound.

That's very helpful, thank you all for your responses.

Cheers, JoMo
