Truck Repair: Cummins 24 valve rear main seal replacement, self tapping screws, self tapping screw

Question
Cliff,

I am doing a transmission replacement and changing the rear main seal as well. I have not removed the seal yet but was wanting some directions or pics for the installation. I picked up a rear main seal kit from a Dodge dealership and of course it has NO instructions. I could probably figure it out but would like some advice too.
Thanks, Bill

Answer
Use a self tapping screw & a washer to remove seal.Should have an installation tool with new seal(metal ring).Just tap seal in until metal ring stops on seal housing.Just be careful when putting self tapping screws in seal not to hit rear seal housing and damaging it causing a leak path.
