1994 Jeep Wrangler Crankshaft Seal Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: Can the Crankshaft Seal be Replaced Without Removing the Oil Pan or Crankshaft in a 2.5L Four-Cylinder Engine on 1994 Jeep Wrangler?

  A: The rear Crankshaft Seal on the other hand can be replaced without the removal of the oil pan or the crankshaft. This is possible once you have started by stripping the car of the transmission. In the case when it is equipped with a manual transmission, remove the pressure plate and clutch disk. Second, do the same and take out the flywheel or driveplate. Having removed the seal, take a seal removal tool or a large screwdriver and loosen the new seal from the block without scratching the crankshaft as this will damage the seal and may result in leakage. Scrub the bore in the block, and the seal engagement surface on the crankshaft, to ensure there are no scratch or nick that can damage the new seal lip and cause oil leakage; if the crankshaft is damaged, there is need to get a new one or a different one. Lubrication of the new seal should be done by applying a thin layer of engine multi-purpose grease on the outer circumference of the new seal as well as applying multi-purpose grease on the lips of the seal. Ease the seal lip over the end of the crankshaft, and then gently hammer the new seal into position with a hammer and a large socket or rounded punch; the lip should be facing the front of the engine. Subsequently establish the flywheel or the drive plate back and, if the model has a manual transmission, then revert the clutch disc and the pressure plate before had placing the transmission back.
