Crankshaft Front Seal: Removal
- Remove the crankshaft pulley. For additional information, refer to CRANKSHAFT PULLEY .
- Using the special tool, remove the crankshaft front oil seal.
CAUTION:
The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using 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 re-timed each time the damper is removed. Otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
CAUTION:
Use care not to damage the engine front cover or the crankshaft when removing the seal.
