Despite my best efforts to make an installation tool, I can’t get the RMS to go in straight. I’ve seen guys just beat these in with ease, tried that too. If I tap on the shallow end it just pushes the deep end deeper. Thoughts?

As a follow on…. I had a victor reinz seal that came in a rebuild kit I bought. It installed perfectly. Should I leave it or run to the dealership and give it a go with the Porsche part??

You really need to get the right tool for this job, otherwise you will be doing it again. There is 3-D file that will allow you to print your own tool. You may be able to rent one here, just post a question to the forum.

Good luck!

U need a peanut butter jar lid, 4 washers and 4 bolts. The seal has to be pulled in by the bolts. No way to tap it on evenly.

Depending on how it looks from the bad install would determine if a new one was needed but when in doubt replace.

You need a Porsche branded RMS. Yank that piece out and do it again.

here is a picture of my set up, I only tried tapping after the seal was crooked. At any rate, I think I’m going to run to the dealer, get a new seal and give it another shot after I was successful putting the Reinz in.

Sorry didnt see the bolts. Yea that should work, operator error ? Less turns on each bolt as u pull it in?

Sometimes u just need to walk away for an hour and come back to it.

Did nothing different and it went right in the second time, new seal of course. Anyway, on to the flywheel…
