Subaru (EJ22 & EJ25) Seal Installer (Camshaft & Rear Cam Plug). 1) Camshaft Seal Installer: works great for installing the front camshaft seals on your engine without having to pull the heads or the engine. The cavity slips over the camshaft and you can just take a rubber mallet and tap in into place after pulling the old one. 2) Rear Cam Plug Installer: this STL works great for installing the "rear plug" seal on the back of the driver's side head and installing it to the appropriate depth, which is maybe 1.25 mm deeper than flush (for the edges, not the "head" of the seal), I can't remember right now. Driving this seal too deep can be a HUGE problem because it could block the oil channel that keep the rear part of your camshaft seal lubricated. Thus: I came up with this seal installer which gets it at the appropriate depth and is idiot proof. 3) If you are looking for something to help you install a rear main seal, I highly recommend this link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3035057 . (I would just recommend just printing the tapered press block and foregoing the other items in the print. You can use your torque converter bolts + the small plate that comes on your torque converter to slowly and evenly install the seal, the tapered press block design prevents you from installing the seal too far.) It's marketed as being for EJ25D but it worked fantastic for my EJ22T and all the rear seals for EJ22 and EJ25 are the same (and I believe EJ18 & potentially EJ20) so it should work if you have one of those engines.
