Crankshaft Seal Retainer: Service and Repair
Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal Retainer - Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: The seal lip (2) must always uniformly curl inward toward the engine on the crankshaft (1).
CAUTION: If a burr or scratch is present on the crankshaft edge (chamfer), clean surface using 400 grit sand paper to prevent seal damage
during installation.
NOTE: The rear crankshaft oil seal and retainer are an assembly. DO NOT separate the seal protector from the rear crankshaft oil seal
before installation on engine. Damage to the seal lip will occur if the seal protector is removed and installed prior to installation on
engine.
1. Apply engine oil to crankshaft seal surface.
2. Carefully position the oil seal, retainer and seal protector on crankshaft and push firmly into place on engine block (the seal protector will be
removed from the rear oil seal assembly as a result of installing the rear oil seal). Hand tighten the rear oil seal fasteners.
