Hello just wondering if you need a seal driver to instal the front crankshaft seal. I do not have this tool, and the chilton manual says to use it. Is there any other way to install it? Is this a honda specific tool or could I buy it at an autoparts store?

The car is a 1992 honda prelude h23 Si/Sr (4ws),
thanks

 

no you shouldnt, atleast when i replaced mine ididnt and havent had any leakage yet.

 

use a big socket. match a large socket with the same size of the seal and slowly drive it in.

 

Ya I think mine is leaking because there seems to be oil coming from that area, don't know for sure yet because I haven't taken the cover off yet,

That is a great idea about the socket, I think I'll see if it is leaking before I replace it? Thanks guys,
