Crankshaft Front Oil Seal: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    CAUTION: The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, with diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if you loosen the pulley. Therefore the engine must be retimed each time the damper is removed. Otherwise severe damage can occur.
  1. Remove the crankshaft pulley. For additional information, refer to CRANKSHAFT PULLEY .
    2. CAUTION: Use care not to damage the engine front cover or the crankshaft when removing the seal.
