  How to replace rear Crankshaft Seal in SOHC four cylinder engine on 1999 Ford Ranger?

  Posted by Carrington H.

  A:

  Raise the transmission, clutch, and pressure plate to get at the Crankshaft Seal on the back of the engine. Third, remove the flywheel or drive plate. To this, punch two small holes diametrically opposite to each other and pass in two small sheet metal screws on the seal. Loosen the screws with the assistance of two large screwdrivers until the seal is cut off from the engine, using small pieces of wood against the block in case of need. Ensure that you do not rub or apply pressure on the crankshaft Crankshaft Seal surface in a wrong way so as not to cause damage to the same. Before assembling the seal, pour a very thin film of the engine oil to the mating edges of the seal and the seal bore of the block, and also on the lips of the seal, if they are inclined. Position the seal on a seal installer or something like it, put the tool and seal at the back of the engine with the spring facing the engine. Otherwise, again, tighten the bolt in the proper way to place the seal firmly. In the absence of a special seal installer, the following is recommended: Cut some pipe of the respective diameter in plastic; befit the two ends of the pipe on the seal and gently insert it with a soft-face hammer. The remainder of the installation carries out in the reverse order of removal procedures; hence make sure to reverse the procedures indicated above the next time you intend to remove/install or repair KMS Auto.Net on your PC.
