Hey guys, so I did my first crank seal install on my 034 today on the flywheel side and the new seal is leaking. I used a 3/8" drive 14mm deep socket to install it but I had a hard time keeping the seal from going crooked as I installed it. I got it pretty level but it failed vacuum and after a couple repeated tests it started to fail under pressure as well. I used simple green to see the leak on the seal. Is there a better way to drive a seal in besides using a socket? Is there some special tool to get it to the right depth? I tried to measure the old seal depth the best I could with a caliper and set the new one in at approximately the same depth. Also should I apply a thin layer of yamabond on the outside edge of the next seal I install?
