Cummins 3162992 Front Crankshaft Seal Remover Installer Kit

The Cummins 3162992 is a specialized service tool designed for the removal and installation of the front crankshaft seal on Cummins Signature, ISX, and QSX diesel truck engines equipped with dual overhead camshafts. The kit enables precise positioning of the seal onto the crank nose against the front cover without damage to sealing surfaces. Constructed from heavy-duty anodized aluminum alloy and hardened steel components, the tool assembly includes the main installer body, forcing screw, and associated capscrews required for the extraction and installation process. It is engineered to withstand the high torque loads necessary to seat the seal correctly in heavy-duty applications. Critical application note: This tool is not compatible with Cummins ISX12, ISX15, or X15 single overhead cam engines; those platforms require tool 4918991. The kit replaces OEM part numbers 3162992 and M20146 and includes components cross-referenced to 3162993, 3163056, 3033627, 3896790, 3279794, and ST-170-C.
