SEAL-CRANKSHAFT OIL - REAR
DESCRIPTION
The rear crankshaft seal consists of two parts that reside in a third part, the rear support assembly. The rear seal (1) is inserted into the rear cup (2). These pieces should be assembled WITH OUT removing one from the other. The rear support assembly, once assembled, should not be separated as well, to reduced possibility of damage to the internal rear seal lip.
REMOVAL
This must be done with either the engine or transmission removed from vehicle.
1. Remove flywheel assembly.
2. Paint mark or scribe a witness mark on the engine block to be used for alignment purposes during assembly.
3. Pry out old crankshaft oil seal.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: To prevent potential oil leaks, DO NOT touch or separate the rear crankshaft inner seal from the seal cup. When replacing the rear crankshaft carrier, DO NOT touch or separate the seal cup from the rear oil seal. Always handle the components as an assembly and from their outer diameter.
1. Using special tool VM.1050 (1), install rear crankshaft oil seal in rear main bearing support (2).
