Crankshaft Front Oil Seal: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: DO NOT lubricate the oil seal sealing surface. DO NOT reuse the crankshaft oil seal.
  1. Lubricate the outer edge of the oil seal with clean engine oil. Lubricate the front cover oil seal bore with clean engine oil.
  2. Install the crankshaft front oil seal onto the Crankshaft Front Oil Seal Installer (J-41478) guide. See Fig 1. Install the oil seal installer threaded rod (with nut, washer, guide and oil seal) into the end of the crankshaft.
  3. Use the crankshaft front oil seal installer in order to install the oil seal into the cover bore. Use a wrench and hold the hex on the installer tool. Use a second wrench and rotate the installer nut clockwise until the seal bottoms in the cover bore.
  4. Remove the crankshaft front oil seal installer. Inspect the oil seal for proper installation. The oil seal should be installed evenly and completely into the front cover bore.
  5. Install the crankshaft balancer. See CRANKSHAFT BALANCER .
