How is the rear Crankshaft Seal installed in a four cylinder engine on Ford Escape?

The one-piece rear Crankshaft Seal is pressed into the rear Crankshaft Seal carrier, and the transaxle and flywheel/driveplate must be removed for access. For 2.0L engines, the rear Crankshaft Seal carrier should not be removed with the engine in the vehicle. Begin by prying out the old seal with a flat-blade screwdriver, taking care not to damage the crankshaft sealing surface or the bore in the engine block to prevent oil leaks. Clean the crankshaft and seal bore thoroughly, de-greasing with a rag soaked in lacquer thinner or acetone, and lubricate the lip of the new seal and the outer diameter of the crankshaft with engine oil, ensuring the edges of the new Crankshaft Seal are not rolled over. Position the new seal onto the crankshaft, ensuring that if marked, the words indicating the correct orientation face out toward the rear of the engine. Use a special installation tool or a socket of the exact diameter to drive the seal in place, ensuring it is flush along the entire circumference of the seal carrier. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal. For 2.3L engines, if necessary, remove the oil pan, unbolt the Crankshaft Seal and carrier, and clean the mating surfaces on the cylinder block and crankshaft, polishing any burrs or raised edges. Lightly coat the inside lip of the new seal with clean engine oil and use a thin plastic strip around the inside circumference of the seal as a liner for installation. Carefully move the new Crankshaft Seal and carrier into position, install the Crankshaft Seal carrier bolts, and finger tighten them while holding the carrier in place. Remove the plastic liner to ensure the new seal contacts the crankshaft mating surface correctly, then tighten the Crankshaft Seal carrier to the specified torque using the proper sequence. For 2.5L engines, remove the oil pan and the mounting bolts to take off the rear seal retainer from the engine block. Obtain the manufacturer's rear seal installation and alignment tool, place the retainer plate, new seal, and tool onto the rear of the engine block and crankshaft, and tighten the retainer plate bolts in the correct sequence to the specified torque before removing the tool. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal. After installation, check for signs of oil leakage when the engine is operable.

Ford Escape Crankshaft Seal

The Crankshaft Seal in the Ford Escape automobiles is situated at the front of the automobile engine and its primary function is to prevent leakage of engine oil in the crankcase. Made up of both metal and rubber, this round seal has been important in supplying lubrication for other important components of an engine so that they will not wear off due to friction. Different styles of Crankshaft Seal have been used in different types of Ford Escape, however, the main role of crankshaft seal is same in all these designs. Signs which are associated with a Worn or Damaged Crankshaft Seal are oil leakage especially with high mileage cars and may require replacement to provide the optimal performance of the engine. As a result, it can be deduced that, regular servicing of the Crankshaft Seal Replacer means a long life for the Ford Escape.

Crankshaft Oil Seal Assembly

Q: How is the rear Crankshaft Seal installed in a four cylinder engine on Ford Escape?
A:
The one-piece rear Crankshaft Seal is pressed into the rear Crankshaft Seal carrier, and the transaxle and Flywheel/driveplate must be removed for access. For 2.0L engines, the rear Crankshaft Seal carrier should not be removed with the engine in the vehicle. Begin by prying out the old seal with a flat-blade screwdriver, taking care not to damage the crankshaft sealing surface or the bore in the engine block to prevent oil leaks. Clean the crankshaft and seal bore thoroughly, de-greasing with a rag soaked in lacquer thinner or acetone, and lubricate the lip of the new seal and the outer diameter of the crankshaft with engine oil, ensuring the edges of the new Crankshaft Seal are not rolled over. Position the new seal onto the crankshaft, ensuring that if marked, the words indicating the correct orientation face out toward the rear of the engine. Use a special installation tool or a socket of the exact diameter to drive the seal in place, ensuring it is flush along the entire circumference of the seal carrier. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal. For 2.3L engines, if necessary, remove the Oil Pan, unbolt the Crankshaft Seal and carrier, and clean the mating surfaces on the cylinder block and crankshaft, polishing any burrs or raised edges. Lightly coat the inside lip of the new seal with clean engine oil and use a thin plastic strip around the inside circumference of the seal as a liner for installation. Carefully move the new Crankshaft Seal and carrier into position, install the Crankshaft Seal carrier bolts, and finger tighten them while holding the carrier in place. Remove the plastic liner to ensure the new seal contacts the crankshaft mating surface correctly, then tighten the Crankshaft Seal carrier to the specified torque using the proper sequence. For 2.5L engines, remove the oil pan and the mounting bolts to take off the rear seal retainer from the engine block. Obtain the manufacturer's rear seal installation and alignment tool, place the retainer plate, new seal, and tool onto the rear of the engine block and crankshaft, and tighten the retainer plate bolts in the correct sequence to the specified torque before removing the tool. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal. After installation, check for signs of oil leakage when the engine is operable.
