Remove the transaxle and, on manual transaxle models, the clutch assembly. Remove the
Flywheel/driveplate. Note the installation depth of the seal and then pry the rear Crankshaft Seal from the back of the block with a seal removal tool. Be very careful not to nick the crankshaft seal surface with the tool. Clean the seal bore and make sure the seal mounting surface is free of burrs. Lubricate the new seal's inner lip with multi-purpose grease, and the outer diameter with clean engine oil. Drive the new seal in place squarely with a seal driver, large socket, or section of pipe that's the same diameter as the outer diameter of the seal. Drive the seal to the original depth as noted during removal. Install the flywheel/driveplate, clutch assembly (if equipped) and transaxle.
