Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, ensuring that on 2015 and later models equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor, the IBS connector is disconnected first. Remove the engine drive belt, drain the coolant, detach the upper radiator hose, and take out the engine cooling fan. Remove the large vibration damper-to-crankshaft bolt, using a chain or strap wrench around the pulley to prevent the crankshaft from turning, and place a piece of rubber under the wrench to protect the vibration damper. It is advisable to place cardboard between the radiator and the vibration damper for protection during removal and installation. Use a proper puller to detach the vibration damper, ensuring it grips the hub only and does not contact the crankshaft threads. If removing the seal while the cover is still attached, carefully pry it out with a seal removal tool, taking care not to damage the area where the seal fits. Clean the bore, position the new seal with the lip facing inward, and apply a small amount of oil to ease installation. Drive the seal into the bore until fully seated, ensuring it bottoms against the cover flange. Check the damper surface for grooves; if present, replace the vibration damper. Lubricate the seal lips with engine oil, reinstall the vibration damper while aligning the Woodruff key, and use a special installation tool to press it onto the crankshaft. Install the vibration damper bolt, and complete the installation in reverse order, followed by refilling the cooling system.
