Note: The crankshaft rear seal and the housing for the crankshaft rear seal are manufactured as a one-
piece assembly. The assembly of the crankshaft rear seal uses ten setscrews in order to fasten the
assembly to the cylinder block.
Note: The following procedure assumes that the crankshaft rear seal is a replacement assembly.
Note: The crankshaft rear seal is lubricated. There is no need to lubricate the seal or the crankshaft
flange before installation.
Note: An installation sleeve (2) is supplied with the new housing assembly. The installation sleeve
must be in place when housing assembly is installed on the crankshaft flange in order to prevent
damage to the crankshaft rear seal during assembly.
NOTICE
Illustration 1 g01148393
2. Remove the packaging from the new assembly of the crankshaft rear seal (3). Ensure that the
plastic sleeve (2) is squarely installed within the seal of the assembly of the crankshaft rear seal
(3). The plastic sleeve (2) is included in order to protect the lip of the seal as the lip is pushed
over the crankshaft flange (1).
Illustration 2 g01004958
Typical example
3. Place the assembly of the crankshaft rear seal (3) over the crankshaft flange (1) and engage the
plastic sleeve (2) onto the crankshaft flange.
4. Ensure that the plastic sleeve (2) is engaged onto the crankshaft flange (1). Push the assembly
of the crankshaft rear seal (3) evenly and push the assembly smoothly onto the crankshaft
flange (1) until the assembly is against the cylinder block. During this process, the plastic
sleeve (2) will be forced out of the assembly of the crankshaft rear seal (3). Discard the plastic
sleeve (2).
5. Rotate the assembly of the crankshaft rear seal (3) in order to align the setscrew holes in the
assembly with the setscrew holes in the rear face of the cylinder block.
6. Install the setscrews (5) in order to position housing assembly (3) to the cylinder block. Do Not
tighten the bolts.
7. Place the Tooling (A) over housing assembly (2). This will center the housing assembly onto
the crankshaft flange (3).

8. Tighten the setscrews (1) in numerical order to a torque of 22 N·m (16 lb ft). Do not tighten the
setscrews (X) at this time.
9. Remove the Tooling (A). Tighten the setscrews (X) to a torque of 22 N·m (16 lb ft).
