7. Remove the protective screen and gasket from the upper drive chain cover.
8. Using a screwdriver blade, remove the old sealing ring.
9. Alternatively, drill two small holes in the O-ring, located at diametrically opposite ends of the O-ring. Screw two self-tapping screws into the drilled holes in the O-ring and, using pliers, pull the O-ring out by the screw heads.
10. Clean the sealing ring seat.
11. To prevent damage to the working edges of the sealing ring during its installation, wrap the end of the camshaft with adhesive tape.
12. Using a tubular mandrel of the appropriate diameter, install a new O-ring.
13. Remove the adhesive tape from the end of the camshaft.
14. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
15. Front crankshaft seal ring.
16. Remove the crankshaft pulley/vibration damper and hub.
17. Measure the installation depth of the sealing ring.
18. Using a screwdriver blade, remove the sealing ring.
19. Alternatively, drill two small holes in the sealing ring, located at diametrically opposite ends of the seal. Screw two self-tapping screws into the drilled holes in the sealing ring and, using pliers, pull the sealing ring out by the screw heads.
20. Clean the sealing ring seat.
21. To avoid damaging the working edges of the sealing ring when installing it, wrap the front end of the crankshaft with adhesive tape.
22. Dip the new O-ring into clean engine oil and, using a tubular drift of the appropriate diameter, install the new O-ring into the seat to the previously measured depth.
23. Remove the adhesive tape from the end of the crankshaft.
24. Install the crankshaft pulley/vibration damper and hub.
