The kit further includes a guide pin which is constructed and arranged for insertion through the crankshaft seal and into one of the crankshaft seal mounting holes in order to establish proper alignment for the crankshaft seal as it is pulled off during the removal procedure and as it is pushed on during the installation procedure. The kit further includes a plurality of self-tapping screws which are used during the removal procedure for attaching the housing assembly to the crankshaft seal. The housing assembly includes a housing, a support, and a drive screw, and during the removal procedure, the support is attached to the end of the crankshaft and the drive screw is used to initially push the housing against the crankshaft seal and thereafter pull the crankshaft seal from its position. Included as part of the disclosure is a method of removing a crankshaft seal by use of the kit of tooling components as well as a method of installing a crankshaft seal using basically the same kit of tooling components.
