lucaspadua Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 I tried replacing the valve cover gaskets and I can't manage to install the camshaft position seals properly. I've seen online that the dealer has a special tool for it, that can be improvised with the right size socket or pipe. I've tried everything, has anyone done it before or have some advice?

John/Horace Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Always a film of dish soap or even synthetic grease on rubber part and the opening it goes in. Heating with a hair dryer can also soften up rubber and make more pliable. Haven’t done cam seals but I haves used large socket to pop in lip seals. Need largest socket possible, close to seal diameter as possible. Reduces flex which affects diameter a bit. Need to keep seal as square as possible, don’t want to press in on an angle.
