Last weekend I took out the Scorpion's transaxle to replace the engine's rear main seal. Turns out, however, the rear main was fine and the leak was the transaxle. Ordered seals and finally got to install them today. I used a little RTV on the outer edge of the seals, and used my shop press to carefully install them into the carriers. Also replaced the hub flange seal carriers' o-rings.
Got the flywheel off thanks to an HF 1/2" electric impact wrench, and replaced the rear main seal anyway. It's all ready to reinstall tomorrow.
Here's the bellhousing after cleanup and the new mainshaft seal is in, and everything else reinstalled.
Here's the axle flanges after new seals, o-rings and some fresh paint.
Here's the new rear main seal installed.
And the flywheel, pressure plate and friction disc reinstalled.
