560 crankshaft seal tool

ziemerj · May 17, 2013

I need to put a rear crankshaft seal on my 560. I contacted the local case dealer and they can"t seem to find a tool for installing it. Is there another place I can buy one? Tia.

If it's like the 460 you don't need a tool, just push it into place, don't trim it. Some disagree but soak it in oil first.

Are you needing the crank seal driver or the rear main cap seal installer?

Don't have to have either one but the crank seal driver and installation sleeve makes that job much easier.

I've had limited luck with the cap seal installers. As CNKS said, lube them up and push them in, do not trim. It is most important on the rear main cap to have dowels to align the seal bores when you install the cap. Sealant applied between the cap and block as prescribed in the manual will go a long way to prevent leakage.

I have not seen an after market driver and sleeve for that one piece seal. For years I called for a wear sleeve for the end of that crankshaft but IH said there was not enough room with that narrow seal. Now days, the local machine shop has access to a sleeve and seal, so he says. It can be touchhy to get that seal installed even with the right tools but have seen it done without them also. Also, I have let them protrude a little from rear of block to ride on unworn surface but have to make sure lip on flywheel will not touch seal.
