  Q: How to Change the Crankshaft Seal on a 3.0L V6 Engine Without Damaging the Crankshaft or Seal Bore on Chrysler Imperial?

  A:

  While retaining the seal retainer to alter the old seal and use it to place a new one, it is possible but unsuitable because it is easy to cause a nick or scratch of the crankshaft or the seal bore and it may damage the lip of a new seal. If removing the oil pan and the retainer is not preferred, the following method is the recommended way to change the rear Crankshaft Seal: first, dismantle the transaxle, then proceed to the complete removal of the oil pan. After that, turn the rear Crankshaft Seal retainer bolts and, eventually, the retainer. To aid in the process of sealing, you should take your retainer and place it in a bench vise, then using a screwdriver, pry out the old seal. When installing the new seal, the retainer should be placed on a clean flat surface, then with the help of a block of wood and a hammer, the seal should be hammered in. ON THE MATING SURFACE OF THE RETAINER USE RTV SEALANT. Putting on a clean coat of oil on the seal lip, position the retainer and tighten the retainer bolts to the recommended torque value. The rest of the installation is exactly the opposite of the removal process, which has just been described here.
