Kent originally wrote this manual to go along with our 617 Turbo Diesel Front Crank Seal Replacement Kit as well as our 616 and 617 NON Turbo Crank Seal Kit. We have found that many of you are having problems with your front crank bolt loosening up or bolts sheering off at the front engine pulleys. This is becoming more common as these old diesels age and is primarily due to excess vibration caused by a poorly tuned engine.
