    Q:
    How to replace the front crankshaft seal on GMC Sierra 3500? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Begin replacing a crankshaft front oil seal by removing the crankshaft balancer while guarding engine front cover and crankshaft sealing area from damage. Performing the second step requires you to remove the crankshaft front cover oil seal. The replacement crankshaft front cover oil seal requires cleaning engine oil as a coating before installation. Place the crankshaft front oil seal using the Front Cover Oil Seal Installer (J 42851) before removing it to reinstall the crankshaft balancer.

    Q:
    How to Replace the Front Crankshaft Seal for Engines LH6, LY6, L76, and L92 on GMC Sierra 3500 Classic? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The replacement process for crankshaft front oil seal 140 on engines LH6, LY6, L76, and L92 requires initial crankshaft balancer removal followed by removal of the front cover seal 140. Failure to lubricate the oil seal sealing surface together with avoiding reuse of the crankshaft front oil seal constitutes essential requirements for this procedure. Clean engine oil should be used to lubricate both the new oil seal (140) outer edge and the front cover oil seal bore before installation starts. The procedure starts with installing the crankshaft front oil seal (140) onto the guide of Crankshaft Front Oil Seal Installer (J 41478). Use the threaded rod of J 41478 along with its nut and washer and guide and oil seal to insert into the crankshaft end for proper oil seal installation into the cover bore. Utilize a wrench to secure the installer bolt hex while another wrench turns the installer nut clockwise to deliver the seal completely inside the cover bore. Check the front cover bore for correct and even installation of the oil seal after using the J 41478 tool to install the component. Finally, reinstall the crankshaft balancer.
