Rear Main Seal - Crank Bearings

Hi all,

doing my first rear main seal job on my 99 xj with about 150K miles and wanted a little feedback.

How many of you who have done the RMS replaced the crank bearings (or more like crank pads)?

What should I look for while I'm replacing the RMS?

At what point should the crank bearings be replaced? I noticed BARELY any lines of wear and there's one spot that looks weird in the light.



and another angle

Those look pretty good to me. Why fix something that isnt broken right?

That bearing looks good. The only thing I would question is that spot right in the middle. Looks like there could be some dirt under the bearing shell. I wouldn't worry about it though.

Looks good. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

Thx all
