  1. If being preformed in vehicle, remove the transmission.
  2. Remove the flexplate (Refer to ENGINE/ ENGINE BLOCK/FLEX PLATE-REMOVAL ).
    NOTE: The crankshaft oil seal CAN NOT be reused after removal.
    NOTE: The crankshaft rear oil seal remover Special Tool 8506 must be installed deeply into the seal. Continue to tighten the removal tool into the seal until the tool can not be turned farther.
