Had enough of the oil spots on a clean garage floor. The Kubota service manual does not mention this service...you would think its similar to a car...No? WRONG
I experienced the same frustration, mentioned by another forum member, what a royal PITA.
There is no room to use a seal puller and no room to tap a new seal in place, with a hammer and deep socket.
Ruined one seal because it did not seat evenly, no way to remove without damaging it.
Using the crank bolt and a large fender washer over a short length of PVC pipe (the same diameter as the seal) I was able to seat it successfully.
Since the crank pulley is not keyed several attempts were need to get the crank and pulley alignment marks to match up.
Fortunately I was working under a garage lift, but it took way too much time and effort to make this happen.
A catch tray under the RTV would be a nuisance but a necessary one if the seal leaks in the future.
