Front oil seal
1. Remove the timing belt and crankshaft sprocket as described in Chapter 10.
2. If you have a special tool, the seal can be replaced without removing the casing, otherwise you need to unscrew and remove the casing (including the corresponding pan bolts) and remove the gasket. If the pan gasket is damaged when removing the casing, you will need to remove the pan and install a new gasket. However, install the pan after securing the casing.
3. Remove the old seal from the housing, then dip the new one into the engine oil and tap it into the housing with a block or socket. Make sure the closed end of the seal faces outward.
4. Install the casing together with the new gasket, tighten the bolts evenly in a diagonal sequence.
