Can the flywheel flange be removed from the crankshaft itself using a harmonic balancer puller tool, and if yes then wats the process to install the flywheel flange back.

Hello, the short answer is no, sorry, it is part of the crankshaft. What seems to be the problem? Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.

Replacing the rear main seal, but it's behind the flange not around it.

In one of your links, I see that you have the flange #6434 by itself.

Yes, that is a newer crankshaft with a one-piece main seal, yours has a two-piece rear main seal like the one in this video.

I see what you are talking about, I have never used one of these, so I was a little shocked. It looks like a spacer for what I do not know. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
