I don't think this is related to end play. Why would that change if the
the flywheel is removed to replace the crank seal? Would replacing the
pilot bearing change the end play? It's as if the flywheel is going in
too far. Also, trying to avoid pulling out the new seal unless I really
have to.  Sounds like I may have to.
