Crankshaft and Balancer Shaft Oil Seals Installation
(engine removal not required)





- Remove timing belt and pulleys. Refer to Timing Components.

NOTE: The crankshaft and front balancer shaft oil seal housing surface should be dry. Apply a light coat of grease to the crankshaft, the balancer shaft and to the lips of the seals.





1. Using the special tool, drive in the crankshaft oil seal until the driver bottoms against the oil pump. When the seal is in place, clean any excess grease off the crankshaft, and check that the oil seal lip is not distorted.





2. Using the special tool, drive in the front balancer shaft oil seal until the driver bottoms against the oil pump. When the seal is in place, clean any excess grease off the balancer shaft, and check that the oil seal lip is not distorted.





3. Using the special tool, drive the crankshaft oil seal into the right side cover to the point where the clearance between the bottom of the crankshaft oil seal and right side cover is 0.5 - 0.8 mm (0.02 - 0.03 in)

NOTE: Align the hole in the driver attachment with the pin on the crankshaft.
