Does anyone know where to buy a rear main seal installation tool for 997s engine? Or is it necessary? Can I use a matching size piece of pipe or socket for instance.
I called Baum tools they do not have it. Changing my clutch, pressure plate and flywheel and saw the oil drip from the seal so I want to replace it.

I know from doing a rms seal in the past on other cars, there usually isnt a specific tool, rather a socket or non sharp pipe. Might want to try harbor freight to see if they have some cheap socket or metal oil cap that matches the diameter

Step 1 - Remove old seal
Step 2 - Position new seal
Step 3 - Turn old seal around 180 degrees
Step 4 - Use plastic type hammer and gently position new seal using old seal as the install tool.
