2. Using two screwdrivers or a large pry bar, carefully remove the front crankshaft oil seal from its seat in the front timing cover - try not to damage the shaft journal.
3. Clean the walls of the seat, completely removing traces of corrosion and fragments of the old seal. Insert the new seal into the seat (with lips inward), having previously lubricated its outer surface with engine oil.
4. Using a deep socket head of the appropriate size or a piece of pipe of the appropriate diameter as a mandrel, tap the seal into the seat until it rests against the cover flange.
5. Assess the condition of the sealing surface of the damper hub of the crankshaft pulley. If grooves are found that have been machined by the seal, perform the necessary restorative repairs by pressing an additional bushing into the hub.
Note: The repair bushing can be installed quite easily using a wooden block and a hammer.
6. Lubricate the lips of the new seal with clean engine oil, then install the crankshaft pulley in place. Screw in the mounting bolt and tighten it to the required torque.
7. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of their dismantling. Make sure that all fasteners are tightened to the required torque.
8. Start the engine and check for signs of oil leaks in the area of the front timing cover.
