The ATC ZTSE4517 Front Crankshaft Seal and Wear Ring Remover is a professional-grade service tool engineered for Ford 6.0 L PowerStroke® diesel engines and equivalent VT365/MaxxForce7 applications. Serving as a direct aftermarket replacement for OEM references ZTSE-4517 and Ford 303-762, this puller is designed to safely and efficiently extract the front crankshaft oil seal and associated wear ring without risking damage to the crankshaft snout, housing bore, or sealing surfaces — a frequent failure point when improper methods are used.
On 6.0 L PowerStroke engines — found across a range of Ford Super Duty, E-Series, Excursion, and F-650/750 platforms — oil leaks at the front crank seal are common due to age, heat cycling, and high-pressure environments. The ATC ZTSE4517 tool simplifies this service by applying controlled, concentric extraction force, preventing crankshaft scoring and housing distortion that often result from makeshift pry-bar or slide-hammer techniques.
Built for repeated professional shop use, this tool is ideal for diesel technicians, heavy-duty truck service centers, fleet maintenance facilities, and rebuild shops maintaining PowerStroke engines. Its durable steel construction and correct OEM-style design reduce labor time and improve service outcomes.

Why It Matters
The front crankshaft seal plays a critical role in keeping engine oil contained and preventing contamination of cooling passages and engine internals. Improper removal — such as prying or hammering — can easily score the crankshaft snout or damage the housing bore, leading to costly machine work or part replacement. Using the ATC ZTSE4517 prevents these problems by providing controlled, concentric extraction tailored to the 6.0 L PowerStroke design.
