NOTES
If crankshaft is out of engine, remove old oil seals by
tapping them out with a screwdriver or punch from the
inside.
To remove a seal with the crankshaft in the engine, insert
a screwdriver between the seal and the crankshaft and
pry the seal out.
Seal Replacement
1.
Lubricate the outside of the new oil seal with oil
prior to installation.
2.
Use seal driver-protector tool (Part No. 670327A).
3.
Place oil seal over the driver-protector and place
over crankshaft, driving it into position using
universal driver (Part No. 670272). The seal will
automatically be driven into the proper depth.
The numerical order for gradually
removing and tightening screws
on the mounting flange is critical for proper
distribution of pressure. Failure to do so may
result in oil leaks and accelerated engine wear.
4.
Torque flange bolts in numerical order as shown in
illustration.
