Vq35hr Rear main seal
Has anyone had to do the Rear main on the hr motor? I have an oil leak coming from the rear of the motor. I will be replacing my clutch and flywheel in the upcoming months and would like to tackle the Rear main while I am there. My z has 105000 miles on it and was wondering if this is a common issue on the Z? Is there a DIY out there?

I replaced mine when I installed my new clutch and flywheel. Pry out with a small flat blade screw driver and be very careful that you don't scratch the crankshaft*surface. I didn't have the right size seal driver so I used a hole saw on a 2x4 and used that to drive the seal on.

thanks for pic!! but I remember doing a rear main seal on a g35 sedan a while back and to do it I had to remove the secondary oil pan to be able to install the seal correctly. As far as I knew, g35s and the 350z the same drivetrain.. I'm a little confused now lol

Actually NVM!! I did some quick research just now and found that the HR is a different setup for the rear main from the DE's.. Good!! It was a pain it the buttocks to do the G35 lol
