    I replaced the RMS on my '04 5VZ with a factory unit from LCE last year along with a crank sleeve just in case. The seal leaked and I'm in the process of doing it again. I don't know what I did wrong, but I'm trying to avoid doing the job again.

    The question I have is where in the seal housing do I sit the seal at? Flush with the back of the housing? I really wish the seal housing had a base that the seal sat against but that isn't the case.

    Thanks in advance for any and all help/input.
