1.Use special tool flywheel stopper (MB991883) to secure the inertia ring. 2.Remove the drive plate bolts.

2.Use special tool oil seal installer (MB992147) to press-fit the crankshaft rear oil seal. 3.Press-fit the crankshaft rear oil seal into the oil seal case assembly to have the dimension shown in the illustration.

2.Apply a continuous bead of the specified sealant (Φ2.3 ± 0.3 mm) to the oil seal case mating surface as shown. Specified sealant: ThreeBond 1207F or equivalent note Install the oil seal case immediately applying sealant. 3. caution After the installation, until a sufficient period of time (one hour or more) elapses, do not apply the oil or water to the sealant application area or start the engine. Applying an appropriate amount of engine oil to the entire circumference of its crankshaft oil seal rear lip portion, and then set the oil seal case to the cylinder block and tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 11 ± 1 N·m

Install the adapter plate in the direction shown in the illustration.

1.Use special tool flywheel stopper (MB991883) to secure the inertia ring in the same manner as removal.

2.Tighten the drive plate bolts to the specified torque in the order shown in the illustration. Tightening torque: 135 ± 5 N·m

1.Apply a small amount of engine oil to the outer diameter of special tool crankshaft front oil seal guide (MD998383) and install it to the crankshaft. 2.Apply a small amount of engine oil to the entire inner diameter of the oil seal lip. 3.Use special tool crankshaft front oil seal installer (MD998382) to press-fit the crankshaft front oil seal.

1.Clean and then degrease the front lower case, the crankshaft and the crankshaft sprocket B as shown. note Degreasing is necessary to prevent decrease in the friction between contacting surfaces. 2.Install the crankshaft sprocket B in the direction shown in the illustration.
