  1. Remove front cover. See FRONT COVER & OIL PUMP . Remove the timing belt. See TIMING BELT & GEARS . Remove crankshaft drive gear. See OIL PUMP .
  2. Carefully drill a small, shallow pilot hole into the steel ring of the seal. Use caution when drilling the hole so as not to damage the area around and behind the seal. Screw in a self tapping screw. Use pliers to pull out the front main oil seal. Clean all sealing surfaces.
  3. Coat the lip of the front main oil seal with a small amount of clean engine oil to aid in the installation. Using Crankshaft Front Main Seal Installer (J-35268A), install the front oil pump seal. Ensure that the front oil pump seal is fully and evenly seated.
