Seal, Crankshaft Oil, Rear: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:

The seal lip and the sealing surface on the crankshaft must be free from all oil residue to prevent seal leaks. The crankshaft and seal surfaces must be completely dry when the seal is installed. Use a soap and water solution on outside diameter of seal to ease assembly.

  1. Clean the crankshaft journal with a suitable solvent and dry with a clean shop towel or compressed air. Wipe the inside bore of the crankshaft seal retainer with a clean shop towel.
  2. Inspect the crankshaft journal for gouges, nicks, or other imperfections. If the seal groove in the crankshaft is excessively deep, obtain a crankshaft wear sleeve that is available in the aftermarket.
  3. Install the seal pilot and NEW  seal, provided in the replacement kit, onto the crankshaft.
  4. Remove the seal pilot.
  5. Install the installation tool over crankshaft.
