Angry Replaced Front Ecentric Shaft Oil Seal "Damnit"

Ive Repalaced the Oil Seal.... put everything back together (Bolts, belts etc) However i somwhat got a nasty wwwweeerrrrrweeeeerrrrrweerrrrr sound" what i think comeing from the Ecentric shaft pully... I dunno if if mustive "over pressured" the ecentric Bolt to Tight??? i guess to much TORQUE". The whole deal with Pushing to "Cluth Down" was unessessary simply because i just Only replaced the Oil Seal..


Sound Type: Sounds like putting a Honda on REVERSE. (Weeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUhhhoh.
Please correct me if I am wrong. Did you have to remove the crank bolt (the really big one with the "pellet" behind it) or does the pulley attach to the e-shaft with a couple of small bolts?

Hope it's not that ____________ bearing..

Did someone say *Torrington*???? Did someone say slipped and fell down?

You really can't overtorque that bolt, well it isn't likely that is the problem anyway.

In the fsm there is a illustration/picutre/drawing, that shows how to measure and tell if the bearing has fallen down. You have the bolt out and measure from the front/face of the pulley to the face of the eccentric shaft. The measurement should be 0.0961 or LESS

What the hell was that?

ANyways, I hope you had the clutch depressed, or otherwise made 100% sure that the e-shaft didn't move backwards at all while you were doing this... it only takes just over 1/8" travel to drop the spacer on the torrington (needle) bearing and twist it up!
