Artistry Photography...Great video very informative...I’m not even a mechanic and I’m ready to tackle a rear main seal job...🔧🔧🔧

That was very good. I wish you lived in my city. I got 3 estimates today on changing my rear main seal they were $460, $65o & $700. 96 Chevy 4X4. I don't feel like any of them would do as good as you did. One of them also said they would charge me $350 to change a Actuator on my 4 wheel drive. It is so hard to find a honest mechanic like you.

dude, you're so chill and you explain things so easy. This is a great video thanks for taking the time and uploading it for all the whole mechanics out there. Well done sir.

really enjoyed the video. Made thing easy to under stand the procedure after watching. Thanks Brother

I got good info from your vidio...HOWEVER, when you got to the point of explain the bell housing, you mentioned that there are two (2) bolts and your camera pointed at the flywheel but just that fast you quickly went to talking about dropping the starter and moved on, i really wish you would have put just a few more seconds with the camera on that subject of boltss on bell housing that need to come off and showed us the bolts, where there located, how to get to them so that i would have been clear on what yo look for when i start on my truck... anyway, Other then that your 2 part vidio was one of the better ones I've seen/watched in terms of being clear, detailed and good step by step instructions. I appreciate the time it took you to put it together for us viewers. Thanks.

My rear main seal just went on my 2011 gmc 1500 ligit 10 mins ago. Ur vids give me hope in fixing it

A1 Video Parts 1 & 2! Thanks for this helpful information. I'm getting ready to rebuild my transmission myself but the engine rear seal is leaking. So i'll be replacing the seal. Thanks for sharing

You're mighty fine mechanic keep it up buddy good job

Very nice video. Helps me out a lot on my replacement of the rear main. Thanks

Just writing what everyone is saying already. Very good video, detailed and step by step. When I did my searching I thought I was gonna watch 3-5 videos to make up just one list of procedures but you practically cover them all. Now you have one more follower. Thank you. ✌

GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU! Without going through all of the comments here...I'm not sure if anyone has answered the issue with the bolts on the main seal plate. If you compare the old plate at around 5:40, and the new plate at around 13:10...you will see the reason you need to use the new 'shorter' bolts. The new plate has an inset where the bolts are. I would assume that torque specs must be precise so as to not damage the plate.

Thank You for you for explaining the process! I’m having a shop do mine and this gave me an idea of what they have to do. Hope mine takes apart easy for them

Nicely done. For me, it helps that you take a little extra time on some steps because I often need to wrap my head around what you are sayin', where the part or tool really is and then I'm ready for the next step. Both part 1 & part 2 vids were good. I also found that you are easy to listen to. That is a big part of the process of understanding - really.

Great Video thanks for taking the extra steps in showing how to and warnings.

I gotta do this job on my 5.7L Tahoe. Not looking forward to it. Was thinking of pulling the engine rather than the transmission. That would also give easy access to front main and oil pan gasket. With the 4x4 ya gotta pull the front differential to get the clearance to remove the oil pan to change that gasket but If I just pull the engine I can get all my major seals in one go with full access. My rear main is the only one of the 3 that is currently leaking but the truck is 22 years old so I figure it won't be long before the others start , might as well get them all at the same time.

Rear main seal plate torque specs for your vid great vid by the way straight forward and to the point just the way it should be man good job keep up the great work 👌👊

Great video. Thanks. You correctly did NOT add the long bottom bolts before putting the rear plate on. This is very important for ensuring that the seal doesn't get pulled down by the long bolts. Note: Disconnect the battery before unbolting the starter. Failure to do this will usually result in large sparks and the potential for welding.

Great video man. Really appreciate all the time spent on producing a video to help people out. You covered just about every step of the procedure. One question though, what's the cost in labor for a rear main seal on this particular vehicle?

You are easy to listen to. Sometimes the volume faded a bit. You spelled it out well; I'm ready to do one now. Some things I wondered about: 1. Putting some RTV on the pan gasket (and some oil on the seal plate so it will come apart later) so theres no chance of leakage there. 2. Snug up the long pan bolts before torquing the plate bolts so the plate will be sure to draw together and seal with the pan gasket. 3. I saw a neat plate alignment tool on youtube. I will put the link in my next reply. 4. It would be neat to wipe down the mess under there so you can see if it seeps in the future. Thanks again.

Thank you. Im doing the same job on the same truck today . Starting in . 5 hours . I would suggest replacing the input shaft on the transmission as well. Thank you

GREAT VID. There's about every last one of the 5.3 GMACs - 5 BAZILLION - leaking on the road waiting for you now get busy... LOL And this is why you DONT drive fast in light rains and until a deluge has cleared the road.... Prob takes that gasket 2 mins to get wet on startup, maybe never it you just crank and idle. Kind makes my want to slam on brakes every time I back out. LOL

That is a lot of hard work but i think you did a great job.

Yes,I replaced my 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engines rear main oil seal back in 2016 & it's still sealing good,the black FelPro oil seal is 10mm thick whereas the original olive coloured seal was 13mm thick so I had to be careful how far I pressed it in. I made sure it was fitted flush when fitting it on the workbench as I reused the old seal plate,I bought the FelPro rear main oil seal & gasket kit who make them for GM so they are the same as OEM. Note that the seal must be fitted DRY as it's a teflon seal,no oil or grease must be used on the seal lip or journal,I cleaned up the journal with acetone & a plastic scourer (green Scotchbrite pad) so I didn't use sandpaper of any sort. I ran a bead of silicone sealant across the top plate & in the corners then loosely fitted the 8mm bolts,I then rotated the engine twice to seat the oil seal then torqued them up to spec's. I just hand tightened the 2 long bolts. It looks like the front has a leak as well in the video,I replaced the front timing cover gasket & seal when I was doing a hydraulic lifter change in 2018 as the gasket was leaking,I also replaced the oil pan gasket as well so I've resealed the whole engine,it doesn't leak a drop of oil now !

Awesome video! Can’t locate part 1 though.

This is a great video..thnx! I noticed this video was posted 6 yrs. ago..my response is coming to you in May 2024..I see that some of the cost estimates of getting this job done are from $600.00- $1,000.00! I got an estimate on May 2, 2024 at My local Chevy dealer for $2,250.00 to do the job..is this a reasonable price taking into account the time we have moved forward?

Can this job be completed at the house using jack stands, what’s the difficulty level if doing that way?

Thank for the info bro

I would put silicone in-between oil pan and the cover to make sure sealing since a pretty big job. Good job other wise !

Great idea

I haven't done this on any vehicle (I am paying to have one done on a newer Tahoe right now) but still I gotta ask, isn't there a seal between the large metal ring that the harmonic balancer was bolted to and teh engine block, where oil inside the engine is held in, as opposed to this large plate with pressed in seal which appears to seal around the metal block/ring ouside the engine or is there pressurised or at least seeped out oil between teh engine block and the plate that you replaced with the new parts? in other words, I expected oil to be leaking or even poring out when you removed what you're calling the Rear main Seal where there is exceedingly little oil to even seal in.

Did you take starter off, or no? Ive a 03 1500 5.3 Vortex Suburban.,doing this. Pulling Bell Housing away now...using 2 jacks and seems possibly stuck..

If I had to do this on the ground, would it be easier to remove the engine instead?

Do you need to drop the transmition to do the rear main seal job?

Awesome! I need to do mine soon. What kit did you use?

Me and mine brother ando mine dad we were looking at your vid and know we know how to do that fore showing ous thanks we like the vid and we going do it next week

I have a question when you go to tighten the rear main seal housing do you snug the long ones down first or the shorts ones. My theory would be if you tighten the short ones all the way, then put the long ones in it wouldn't tighten down very tight on the oil pan, I also wonder if you tighten the long ones all the way will it pull the housing to far down where the main seal will not be centered on the crank. I would like your thoughts and what route you take when tightening the housing. Thanks man and great videos.

If you use an alignment tool for the main seal the seal will be perfectly centered ... without using the tool just no way to eyeball it...thus premature wear and early leakage
