Q: How to Service and Repair the Crankshaft Seal on Cadillac CTS?
A: The process of front crankshaft oil seal replacement requires uninstalling both the A/C Compressor and power steering pump Drive Belt as well as generator and water pump drive belts. Proceed with the removal of the crankshaft balancer while referring to proper procedure guidelines. A flat-bladed tool can be used to eliminate the crankshaft oil seal. The installer should avoid using lubrication on the crankshaft front oil seal and crankshaft balancer sealing surfaces. You should employ the oil seal installer (J 29184) to set the new crankshaft front oil seal before you can reinstall the crankshaft balancer. Proceed to install the generator belt and the water pump Drive Belt and subsequently attach the A/C Compressor and power steering pump Drive Belt.
Q: How to replace the front crankshaft seal (140) for exclusions RPOs LC9, LMG, LY2, and LY5 on Cadillac Escalade?
A: The Crankshaft Front Oil Seal Installer (J 41478) serves as the necessary tool to replace crankshaft front oil seal (140) for all models outside of RPOs LC9, LMG, LY2, and LY5. Start the replacement procedure by disconnecting the crankshaft balancer. After removing the crankshaft front oil seal (140) from the front cover proceed with the next step. Oiling the oil seal sealing surface should be avoided as well as reusing the crankshaft front oil seal. Apply clean engine oil to both the outer portion of new oil seal (140) and bore of front cover oil seal surface. The crankshaft front oil seal (140) should be mounted onto the J 41478 guide before inserting the J 41478 threaded rod (along with nut, washer, and guide, and oil seal) into the crankshaft end. Follow these steps to install the oil seal into the cover bore using the J 41478 while applying one wrench to the hex on its installer bolt and the other wrench to turn its installer nut clockwise for complete seal insertion. Check that the front cover bore receives the complete and uniform installation of the oil seal after you take off J 41478. Finally, reinstall the crankshaft balancer.
Q: How to replace the rear crankshaft seal on Cadillac XLR?
A: Begin Crankshaft rear oil seal replacement by removing the Flywheel first. Installation requires the Crankshaft rear oil seal remover (J 42841-A) which should be positioned on the Crankshaft with retaining bolt attachment. Drive eight 25 mm (1.0 in) self-drilling screws through the seal while following the guideholes inside the removal tool, slowing the drill speed as each screw threads into position. The seal assembly operation requires complete screw installation followed by bolt removal to permit the center forcing screw which will extract the seal assembly from the Crankshaft. Use the seal applicator (EN-48072) to evenly apply sealant onto a clean and dry bore before installation to avoid drain back holes becoming blocked. Check engine block bore and Crankshaft flange for possible damage before removing debris from the oil drain-back hole. Use gm p/n 12378392 or 12346139 cleaner solvent (Canadian P/N 88901247) to clean the bore. The Crankshaft rear oil seal installer (J 45930-A) provides the correct bolts to secure the en-48072 pilot base before the applicator housing must be installed over the base using the bottoming installation method in the bore. The bore's outer diameter should receive sealant gm p/n 12378521 (Canadian P/N 88901148) application avoiding the drain hole blockage. Gently pull out the applicator housing while checking both that the sealant spreads smoothly and that the drain back hole remains clear. Secure the new cassette style Crankshaft rear oil seal onto the center hub of the j 45930-a by tightening its mounting bolts to a secure attachment on the Crankshaft. Twist the center nut so the drive section of j 45930-a reaches crankcase bottom then loosen all components to separate the installer from the mounting bolts. Apply the new seal correctly following defined surface measurements then inspect tools to eliminate leftover sealant before reinstalling the Flywheel.
