Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal Removal

Tools Required
^ J42841-A Rear Oil Seal Remover





Important: Crankshaft rear oil seal removal requires adequate space for removal. Mount the engine on a suitable engine stand which will properly space the engine in order to use the J42841-A to remove the crankshaft rear oil seal. If necessary remove the crankshaft rear oil seal with the engine properly supported on the floor or on a bench.

Important: Rear crankshaft seal removal cannot be performed on an engine stand. If the engine is out of the vehicle, properly support the engine on a bench or on the floor. If the engine is in the vehicle the seal can be removed after the transaxle and engine flywheel are removed.

1. Place the J42841-A onto the crankshaft.
2. Install the J42841-A retaining bolts.





3. Using a drill motor (variable speed preferred) with a socket adapter, install eight 25 mm (1.0 inch) self-drilling screws into the seal using the guide holes in the removal tool. When drilling, make sure you reduce the drill speed when the screw begins threading into the seal.





4. With all 8 removal screws installed, remove the J42841-A retaining bolts.





5. Install the center forcing screw.





6. Tighten the center screw on the removal tool to pull the seal assembly off the end of the crankshaft.
