How to replace the front crankshaft seal on 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500?

The replacement process starts with the removal of the crankshaft balancer together with the crankshaft oil seal from the front cover. The oil seal sealing surface needs to remain free of lubrication when replacing it and users should avoid using the crankshaft front oil seal a second time. Clean engine oil must first be applied to both the new oil seal outer edge and the front cover oil seal bore. Set the Crankshaft Front Oil Seal into the Crankshaft Front Oil Seal Installer (J 41478) guide for installation. Use J 41478 threaded rod with integrated nut and washer and guide to direct installation of the oil seal through the crankshaft end until it fits properly into the front cover bore. Sustain pressure on the installer bolt hex with a wrench during clockwise rotation of the shut by another wrench until the seal encompasses the entire cover bore. The J 41478 tool needs removal after sealing the oil housing bore of the front cover. Inspect the entire seal installation area on the bore front surface. Finally, reinstall the crankshaft balancer.
