The W470589004300 Rear Crankshaft Seal Remover & Installer is a high-precision, heavy-duty service tool developed specifically for the Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15 and DD16 engine families. Designed as a direct replacement for the OEM tool number W470589004300, this kit simplifies the removal of worn or damaged rear crankshaft oil seals and ensures accurate, controlled installation of new seals—preserving engine reliability and minimizing downtime.
In modern heavy-duty diesel engines like the DD13, DD16 and DD15 , the rear crankshaft seal plays a vital role in preventing oil leakage from the crankcase and protecting transmission inputs and driveline components. Improper seal removal or installation can lead to crank flange damage, misalignment, oil leaks, and expensive transmission or engine failures. The W470589004300 kit addresses these risks by providing a stable extraction fixture and dedicated press driver components engineered for exact fit and concentricity.
Made for engine rebuilders, fleet service technicians and professional repair shops, this tool enables consistent, repeatable results—helping you reduce rework and maintain service quality. Whether you’re performing an in-frame overhaul, replacing a damaged seal after a failure, or conducting preventive maintenance on DD13/DD15/DD16 powerplants, this kit is an essential component of your tool arsenal.
