Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Apply engine oil to the inside and the outside diameter of the new crankshaft rear oil seal. Slide the new crankshaft rear oil seal over the mandrel until the back of the crankshaft rear oil seal bottoms squarely against the collar of the J 38196.
  2. Install the crankshaft rear oil seal using the following steps:
    NOTE: Refer to FASTENER NOTICE in Cautions and Notices.
    1. 2.1. Attach the J 38196 to the crankshaft by hand, or tighten the attaching screws.

      Tighten 

      Tighten the screws to 5 N-m (54 lb in).

    2. 2.2. Turn the T-handle of the J 38196 so that the collar pushes the seal into the bore. Turn the handle until the collar is tight against the case. This will ensure that the crankshaft rear oil seal is seated properly between the crankshaft and the crankshaft rear oil seal housing.
    3. 2.3. Loosen the T-handle of J 38196 until the handle comes to a stop. This will make sure that the collar will be in the proper position for installing another new crankshaft rear oil seal.
    4. 2.4. Remove the attaching screws.
