Replaced the front camshaft oil seal (genuine Volvo) on a B230F while doing the timing belt last week.
Just noticed today that it is leaking.
I'm assuming it's not evenly set.
What's the best procedure for pressing these into place?
Is there a proper tool to use?
I tried pressing it in by hand, but it was too tight, so I gently tapped it into place with the back (flat side) of a drill bit and a hammer.
Will pressing these in too deeply cause a leak?
Is it possible to change the front seal without having to redo the engine timing?
Also, what is the change interval for the rear cam seal? (Car has 91k miles)
