• Q: How to service the Main Bearing Crankshaft Seal on 2000 Chevrolet Prizm?

  A: A service of the Crankshaft main bearing seal requires the user to disconnect the negative Battery Cable. You need to remove the transaxle assembly while following the right steps for manual or automatic transmissions. To service the Crankshaft main bearing seal start by moving the clutch and Pressure Plate before removing the Flywheel from the Crankshaft but protect the Crankshaft by wrapping the screwdriver tip in tape. Prise out the rear oil seal of the Crankshaft using a screwdriver. Installation requires applying multi-purpose grease to the new Crankshaft rear oil seal's lip followed by tapping it until its surface rests flush with the Crankshaft rear oil seal retainer using a hammer. Reinstall the Flywheel followed by the clutch and Pressure Plate if needed. Place the negative Battery Cable back onto its mount before tightening the Battery Cable bolt to 15 (11 ft. Lbs.).
