2003 Chevrolet Tracker Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear crankshaft seal on 2003 Chevrolet Tracker?

  A: Vehicle models with manual transmissions require removal of both Transmission Assembly and clutch alongside Pressure Plate before rear crankshaft oil seal replacement. Record the Flywheel's starting position relative to the engine before withdrawing the Flywheel from the crankshaft while protecting the crankshaft by taping up the screwdriver tip. A separate screwdriver allows you to carefully remove the crankshaft rear oil seal. When installing the new crankshaft rear oil seal users must apply gm p/n 1051344 chassis grease to the lip. To achieve proper seal depth the oil seal installer (J 41172) should be used because other tools might malposition the seal leading to oil leakage. Place the new seal onto the crankshaft's end while using an oil seal installer (J 41172) and a hammer to softly tap it into position. To complete the installation process you need to replace both the Flywheel and clutch and Pressure Plate on vehicles with manual transmission.
