[. . . ] Screw a self-tapping screw into each and pull on the screws with pliers to extract the seal. 3 Clean the seal housing and polish off any burrs or raised edges which may have caused the seal to fail in the first place. 4 Lubricate the lips of the new seal with clean engine oil and drive it into position until it seats on its locating shoulder. Use a suitable tubular drift, such as a socket, which bears only on the hard outer edge of the seal. Use either grease or a thin layer of insulating tape to protect the seal lips from the edges of the crankshaft flats but be careful to remove all traces of tape and to lubricate the seal lips if the second method is used. 5 Wash off any traces of oil, then refit the crankshaft sprocket. Removal 1 Remove the gearbox and the clutch assembly. 2 Prevent the flywheel from turning by locking the ring gear teeth (see illustration) or by bolting a strap between the flywheel and the cylinder block/crankcase. 3 Slacken and remove the flywheel retaining bolts and discard them The bolts must be renewed whenever they are disturbed. Do not drop it, as it is very heavy. Inspection 5 If the flywheel's clutch mating surface is deeply scored, cracked or otherwise damaged, then the flywheel must be renewed, unless it is possible to have it surface ground. Seek the advice of a Rover dealer or engine reconditioning specialist. 6 If the ring gear is badly worn or has missing teeth, then it must be renewed. This job is best left to a Rover dealer or engine reconditioning specialist. The temperature to which the new ring gear must be heated for installation (350°C - shown by an even light blue colour) is critical and, if not done Renewal Right-hand mounting 5 Disconnect the battery negative lead. 6 To improve access to the mounting, remove the expansion tank mounting bolts then free the coolant hose from any relevant retaining clips and position the tank clear of the engine. On models equipped with powerassisted steering, undo all the power steering hose retaining clamp bolts then slide the fluid Left-hand seal 6 Remove the flywheel. 1689 Rover 214 & 414 Updated Version 09/97 2A·22 Engine in-car repair procedures 19. 7a Use trolley jack with wooden spacer to adjust height of engine/gearbox unit reservoir out of its retaining clip and position it clear of the timing belt covers. Take great care not to place any undue strain on hoses and mop up any spilt fluid immediately. 7 Support the weight of the engine/gearbox unit by using a trolley jack, with a wooden spacer to prevent damage to the sump. Unscrew the mounting through-bolt and nut and the mounting to bracket nuts. Remove the mounting, noting the two rubber washers (see illustrations). 8 Where necessary, unscrew the retaining bolts and remove the bracket from the cylinder block/crankcase. 9 Check carefully for signs of wear or damage on all components and renew them where necessary. 10 On reassembly, refit the bracket to the 19. 7b Right-hand mounting throughbolt (A), mounting-to-bracket nuts (B), bracket-to-cylinder block/crankcase bolts (two arrowed - C) cylinder block/crankcase and tighten the retaining bolts to the specified torque setting. [. . . ] Noting that the faces with the stamped marks must match (which means that the bearing shell locating tabs abut each other), refit the big-end bearing cap, tightening the bolts finger-tight at first. 17 Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts evenly to the (first stage) torque wrench setting specified, then use an angular torque gauge to tighten the bolts evenly through the (second stage) angle specified (see illustrations). 18 Repeat the procedure for the remaining three piston/connecting rod assemblies, but do not attempt to rotate the crankshaft. 19 Thoroughly degrease the mating surfaces of the oil rail and the main bearing ladder.
