Re: Rear Main Seal Replacment?
the main seals on honda ebgines always go, mainly because everyone has one with 200,000 km on it
if you have an engine out its a good thing to do unless you know your gonna blow it soon. Plus if your front main seal starts to leak a bit it goes on your timming belt and can cause it to fail prematurely

The HONDA way to remove the seal: turn a small screw into the seal, just deep enough to get a good bite on it. Then pull loose with a pair of pliers.
DON`T use a seal punch to install the new seal. Use a small block of wood and a hammer to EVENLY apply pressure to the seal.

or you can just use a normal seal puller?
I usually dull up both the edges so it doesnt scratch the crank. I also clean the crankshaft with fine emory cloth, and it doesnt hurt if the seal isnt in the "exact" same spot as it was before, its more important that the seal has a fine layer of grease on the lip and that it is in straight.
