Crankshaft Oil Seal - Rear: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: To prevent potential oil leaks, DO NOT touch or separate the rear crankshaft inner seal from the seal cup. When replacing the rear crankshaft carrier, DO NOT touch or separate the seal cup from the rear oil seal. Always handle the components as an assembly and from their outer diameter.
