Rear Main Seal Leaks like hoover Dam!!



Installed new rear main with the cummins supplied "install" tool. Tool Sucks, having difficulty getting the seal to go in straight. And when it does go in straight it slides right back out on its own. We were able to get the seal to stay down by running it all the way into the hole against the block. Either that was the problem or that fact that we molested the seal so much trying to get it to go in straight caused it to leak?? Can't seem to understand why the depth really matters as long as it's in straight.



Has anyone done this with success?? $50 a pop for the main seal really sucks!
 
Did mine a few months ago while clutch was out. Just used driving tool and tapped around it relatively evenly. Goes fast once it starts. Didn't start quite straight, but with care I managed to get it square to the end of the crank. Make sure that the mating surface is clean or it WILL leak again. Good luck
