CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL -
REAR

DESCRIPTION

The rear crankshaft seal consists of two parts that

reside in a third part, the rear support assembly. The
rear seal is inserted into the rear cup (Fig. 81). These
pieces should be assembled WITH OUT removing one
from the other. The rear support assembly, once
assembled, should not be separated as well, to
reduced possibility of damage to the internal rear
seal lip (Fig. 82).

REMOVAL

This must be done with either the engine or trans-

mission removed from vehicle.

(1) Remove flywheel assembly.
(2) Pry out old crankshaft oil seal.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: To prevent potential oil leaks, DO NOT touch
or separate the rear crankshaft inner seal. Always
handle the seal from the outer diameter (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL -
REAR - DESCRIPTION).
