ease the installation procedure, lubricate
the oil seal lips with lithium-soap-based
grease.
• In order to prevent the crankshaft seizure,
apply molybdenum disulfide grease.
TIP
Hold the connecting rod at top dead center
(TDC) with one hand while turning the nut of the
crankshaft installer bolt with the other. Turn the
crankshaft installer bolt until the crankshaft as-
sembly bottoms against the bearing.
