I replaced the front seal last weekend on my '06 BRM. I did it in conjunction with a timing belt change. Used all the correct tools, including the crankshaft counter hold tool. Installed a new spring seal. Didn't seem to be any leaks for a couple of days, but now it's back to leaking just as bad as it did before. I didn't nick or score the journal surface when removing the old seal. I was very careful when installing the new seal. I went slow, and tapped the new seal in evenly using a large socket that was the exact size as the new seal. Any ideas on what could be going on? I'm really bummed about this, since it's such a PITA to get down to this seal. I'm not looking forward to doing it again. Cheers.
