Front crankshaft sealing ring
1. Remove the crankshaft pulley/vibration damper and hub.
2. Measure the installation depth of the O-ring.
3. Using a screwdriver blade, remove the O-ring from the socket.
4. Alternatively, drill two small holes into the o-ring at diametrically opposite ends of the o-ring. Insert two self-tapping screws into the drilled holes in the O-ring and use pliers to pull the O-ring out past the screw heads.
5. Clean the sealing ring seat.
6. To protect the working edges of the sealing ring when installing it, wrap the end of the crankshaft with adhesive tape.
7. Dip a new o-ring in clean engine oil and, using an appropriately sized drift, install the o-ring into the seat to the previously measured depth.
8. Remove the adhesive tape from the end of the crankshaft.
9. Install the crankshaft pulley/vibration damper and hub.
Rear crankshaft sealing ring
1. Remove flywheel/drive plate.
2. Measure the installation depth of the O-ring.
3. Using the blade of a screwdriver as a lever, remove the O-ring from the socket.
4. Alternatively, drill two small holes into the O-ring at diametrically opposite ends of the seal. Insert two self-tapping screws into the drilled holes in the O-ring and use pliers to pull the O-ring out past the screw heads.
5. Check the condition of the surface of the crankshaft in contact with the O-ring. If there is severe wear, the crankshaft must be replaced.
6. Clean the O-ring seat and the surface of the crankshaft in contact with the O-ring.
7. To protect the working edges of the sealing ring from damage during its installation, wrap the end of the crankshaft with adhesive tape.
8. Dip a new o-ring in clean engine oil and, using an appropriately sized drift, install the o-ring into the seat to the previously measured depth.
9. Remove the adhesive tape from the end of the crankshaft.
10. Install flywheel/drive plate.
