Q: How to replace the rear crankshaft seal on Buick Regal?
A: To replace the Crankshaft rear oil seal one should, first, remove the engine fly wheel and be careful not to damage the Crankshaft outside diameter surface or chamfer with a tool. Next, pry out the Crankshaft rear oil seal while using a flat-bladed tool that is inserted through the dust lip and pushing the handle toward the end of the Crankshaft, repetitively if need be. Visual inspect inside diameter of the bore and adjust or replace the Crankshaft rear oil seal as required and inspect the Crankshaft for nicks or burrs on the face that touches the seal and make necessary Crankshaft repair or replacement. For installation anoint the new crank shaft rear oil seal with engine oil both on and off the inner diameter and slide over the mandrel until it bottoms against the collar of the j 38196 rear Crankshaft Seal installer (J 38196). Hand tighten the j 38196 onto the Crankshaft, or tighten screws to 5 nm (54 inch lbs.), then rotate the t-handle on the j 38196 until the collar seats against the case properly to ensure correct seating. Loosen the t-handle as far as it goes to slide the collar for the next new seal, then remove the attaching screws. Finally, reinstall the engine Flywheel, make necessary checks in the crankcase and examining for leaks.
Q: How to replace the front crankshaft seal on Buick LaCrosse?
A: The crankshaft balancer should be the first component to remove during the replacement process of the crankshaft front oil seal. The appropriate tool for removing the seal is the Seal Remover (J45000). The front crankshaft oil seal together with its corresponding area on the crankshaft balancer must stay ungreased during any installation works. An equivalent tool to the Oil Seal Installer (J29184) must be used to properly install the crankshaft front oil seal before reinstalling the crankshaft balancer.
Q: How to replace the front crankshaft seal on Buick Enclave?
A: The first step before changing the front Crankshaft oil seal requires removal of the Crankshaft balancer. You should use a flat-bladed instrument to take out the Crankshaft oil seal but handle it with care to protect both the engine front cover and the Crankshaft. Front Crankshaft oil seals do not require any lubrication before installation either on the Crankshaft or balancer sealing surfaces. The new Crankshaft front oil seal installation requires the utilization of the oil seal installer (J 29184) before reattaching the Crankshaft balancer.
