Rear Main Seal Tool

Hey Everybody,

Looks like my rear main is leaking a little out the bell housing, I'm hoping I am wrong but I'd rather be prepared before I pull the transmission for an inspection/replacement.

Currently 86k miles, supercharged for about 3k and turbo'd for about 5k currently.

I've been looking for a tool similar to what's available for the EJ motors to press the rear main seal in.

For example:
P&L Motorsports EJ Rear Main Seal Install Tool
ASF Machine Rear Main Seal Installation Tool (EJ)


However Subaru uses the same SST for both the EJ and FA which is what prompts my question. This might be because their tool isn't specialized for one purpose though.

Joe @ ASF mentioned:
Quote:
The FA is 92x109x8mm

The EJ is 86x103x10mm
I've spoken to each manufacturer and P&L suggested they're working on an FA20 specific unit, ASF didn't mention anything yet other than their current tool probably won't work.

Anyone who has replaced this seal have any words of wisdom?

Thanks,
Mark
