Accepted Answer

Locate the crankshaft balancer and then take it out, and then take out the timing belt and also the crankshaft sprocket. To remove the seal, it is recommended to utilize a screwdriver or a hook tool not to harm the oil pump cover bore, and the crankshaft nose and seating surface. A better approach, which may be used in combination with a variety of inventions underneath, is to use small drill holes before and after the seal and put self-threading screws there, and then remove the seal with pliers without prying. When putting the new seal in place, smear its lip with clean engine oil or multi-purpose grease, with the lip turned inwards. With a large socket and hammer, strike down on the seal placing it squarely in the bore and to the correct depth, if a large socket cannot be used, a piece of pipe maybe used . Inspect the balancer hub surface for grooving due to long term contact with the seal, Balancers may need to be replaced. Grease the balancer hub with fresh engine oil and replace the crankshaft balancer to put it back in place in the reverse way than removal.
