keg1 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Was wondering what all is involved in replacing front main seal on 89 E6 350. Pull radiator and balancer and anything else? Do you need a special puller to get balancer off? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37202-front-seal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex g Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 you will need a puller for balancer but nothing special. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37202-front-seal/#findComment-261327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorse54 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A bar puller is all you need to get the hub off. When you put the hub back on heat it in a deep fryer to 400 degrees. Have welding gloves handy and slide hub on quickly and install bolt right away to seat hub. If you pound the hub on you will mess up the crankshaft thrust washers..

theakerstwo Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Will 400 degress be too hot for the new seal? Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37202-front-seal/#findComment-261354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
