This is a specialized installation tool designed for the precise fitting of the rear crankshaft oil seal on Volvo D12 and D13 engines. It ensures the seal is seated correctly and uniformly, preventing premature leaks and damage that can occur with improper installation, unlike a makeshift tool or manual pressing. Failure to use the correct tool can result in an oil leak around the crankshaft, potentially leading to low oil pressure and engine damage.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The primary symptom of an improperly installed rear crankshaft seal is an oil leak originating from the rear of the engine, near the flywheel. If ignored, this can lead to a significant loss of engine oil, potentially causing low oil pressure and severe internal engine damage.
Lubricate the lip of the new oil seal with clean engine oil before installation. Ensure the tool is centered on the crankshaft to press the seal in evenly.
Inspect the crankshaft flange for any nicks or damage that could compromise the new seal's integrity before installation.
