Note. The compilers of this manual recommend replacing the crankshaft front oil seal during the timing belt removal / installation procedures (see Section Removing and installing timing cover and timing belt), since the dismantling of the oil seal is not possible without first removing the belt.
1. The oil seal is located under the crankshaft gear. Measure the depth of the old oil seal in its seat.
2. The stuffing box is removed from its seat in the front cover by prying with a special tool.
3. Thoroughly clean the contact surfaces of the gland seat.
4. As a mandrel for planting the stuffing box, you can use an end head of a suitable size, or a piece of pipe of the appropriate diameter.
5. Make sure that the stuffing box is planted in the nest strictly to a certain depth.
