Replacing Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Buick LaCrosse and 2006 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Apply engine oil to the inside and the outside diameter of the new crankshaft rear oil seal. Slide the new crankshaft rear oil seal over the mandrel until the back of the crankshaft rear oil seal bottoms squarely against the collar of the J 38196  . See Special Tools .

  2. Install the crankshaft rear oil seal using the following steps:
      NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in General Information.
    1. Attach the J 38196  to the crankshaft by hand, or tighten the attaching screws. See Special Tools .

      Tighten:  Tighten the screws to 5 N.m (54 lb in).

    2. Turn the T-handle of the J 38196  so that the collar pushes the seal into the bore. See Special Tools . Turn the handle until the collar is tight against the case. This will ensure that the crankshaft rear oil seal is seated properly between the crankshaft and the crankshaft rear oil seal housing.
    3. Loosen the T-handle of J 38196  until the handle comes to a stop. See Special Tools . This will make sure that the collar will be in the proper position for installing another new crankshaft rear oil seal.
    4. Remove the attaching screws.
  3. Install the engine flywheel. Refer to Replacing Engine Flywheel .
  4. Check and fill the crankcase as necessary.
  5. Inspect for leaks.
