Rear Crankshaft Oil Seal: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Jeep Wrangler and 1994 Jeep Wrangler. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Coat outer lip of replacement seal with engine oil. Using Installer (6271), install seal flush with cylinder block. Use only NEW bolts when installing flywheel or flexplate. Ensure felt lip is inside flywheel mounting surface to avoid tearing seal. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten flywheel or flexplate bolts to specification, then an additional 60 degrees. See the TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table.
