Cam and crank seals
Doing a complete timing belt job in 2 weeks. Also gonna replace the 2 cam and front crank seals. I have a 95 SC400. Do I need any special tools to get to the seals? Do I need any special tools to remove and/or install the seals? I ask because the factory manual says to use a couple different SST (special service tools). If someone has done this without the SST's, please explain how you did it. Thanx all!

If you don't have tools for it just CAREFULLY use a screwdriver to pull them out. Do not scratch the cam or crank though. If you do it will leak. Then use like a 3/8 extension as a punch and hammer in the seals as evenly as possible til they are flush.

The Schley (SCH64300) Lexus and Toyota Harmonic Damper Pulley Holding Tool and Lisle 58430 Shaft Type Seal Puller are the only special ttols needed to complete the timing belt job. I also invested in a CDI 50 - 250 ft-lb torque wrench. The Craftsman 5 -75 ft-lb was too small for this and other jobs.

I just finished the rear main seal, for the rear i would suggest removing the rear main seal cover plate since nothing will leak out anyways, but if the OP doesnt mind me asking
What are the torque specs for the rear main seal cover plate bolts and can i use toyota black FIPG to seal the cover plate instead of the grey foamy stuff?
Goodluck
