Would you happen to have the part number for the installation tool for that repair sleeve?
I don’t know if it got discontinued or if it’s out of stock everywhere but no one has it. This eBay listing of a different branded tool is all I can find but the bio says it’s the same. Does it look like how yours looked?Felpro 16300
I did the same repair on my car. Seal only eventually leaked shortly after. I used the 16250 sleeve and so far so good (fingers crossed). I did see a slight wear line on my crank which is why i went with the sleeve
Yes, that's the same sealant I used. Make sure you get the flange sealant to seal the repair sleeve also.And this is the thread sealant I should use on the flywheel bolts correct?

Crankshaft Repair Sleeve Tool Ford 5.0 for Rear Seal Compatible w/ FelPro 16300 | eBay
Interchange for the FelPro 16300 tool. They are a division of Dana. This is compatible to the FelPro 16300 installation tool. FelPro #: 16300. After many years and miles the rear main seal can wear a small groove into the end of the crankshaft.www.ebay.com
The tool is nothing special ( except the price) looks like a piece of pipe the correct diameter to hammer the seal on....
I need to look at mine, pretty sure it is metal.... I remember mine being over $50 including the seal...It’s a peice of Delrin plastic, but you are right. It’s nothing special.
It was also $10/delivered from Amazon when I bought mine.
With a new sleeve installed, you would likely end up with similar results from either.Hey guys I just stumbled across this thread and I had a question about the rear main seal. I just replaced my clutch on my 92 GT and while I had it apart I replaced the rear main seal. I'm having the same problem as everyone else; my brand new seal is leaking. So after reading this thread I think I'm going to attempt this project again and use the sleeve. However here's my question. The rear main seal I used is Felpro 2941, but you used the Ford Racing M-6701-B302 seal. I noticed the seal I used is more money, but that may be due to it coming with the plastic installation sleeve to help slide it over the crank without damaging the seal lip. Is one of these seals better than the other one? Which would you suggest I use? Did the Ford Racing seal come with the installation sleeve?
Get the viton rear main seal, like the ford racing one.Evintho--So basically you're saying the rubber Ford Racing seal is better quality and would seal better than the teflon Fel Pro seal?
