Crankshaft Oil Seal-Front: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The oil seal can be replaced without removing the timing chain cover, provided that the cover is not misaligned.

  1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
  2. Remove vibration damper (Refer to ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/VIBRATION DAMPER-REMOVAL ).
  3. If front seal is suspected of leaking, check front oil seal alignment to crankshaft. The seal installation/alignment Tool 6635, should fit with minimum interference. If tool does not fit, the cover must be removed and installed properly.
  4. Place a suitable tool behind the lips of the oil seal to pry the oil seal outward. Be careful not to damage the crankshaft seal bore of cover.
