Re: [Tech] Help! - Oil seal failure
That sounds like the most back asswards way of doing it. Jesus Shawn! You
should know better than that!
Ok take the timing belt off. Remove the lower cover. Place deep well 1/2"
socket over the bolt behind the intermediate shaft seal carrier (it is a
13mm bolt but a 1/2" fits more snug). Then using this socket as a locking
device put your ratchet (with a 19mm on it) over the bolt. Remove the bolt.
Then slide the sprocket off of the shaft. You will now see 2 13mm bolts
holding the seal carrier. remove those. then remove the seal carrier. There
is an o-ring behind it. You will want to replace it. then tap the new seal
into the seal carrier. place the oring over the portion of the seal carrier
that goes into the block. This o-ring is usde to create a seal between the
block and the seal carrier. Now if you have any micro film or even a plastic
pop bottle with smooth(not ripply) sides; cut the middle out of the bottle.
Then cut it in a manner that you have a plastic cylinder that is cut down
the side.Now roll the plastic up and slide it over the end of the
intermediate shaft. Then slide the seal carrier over the shaft and into the
block. Remove your plastic thingy. Just as a note the plastic thing is to
prevent the seal from rolling over and popping the spring off during
installation. And put everything back together. You might want to do the
other seals while you are in there.
