  Q: How to remove and install a front crankshaft seal on Subaru Legacy?

  A:

  Next, unfasten the cable amongst the negative terminal of the battery. Further, the Timing Belt and crankshaft sprocket must be taken off. Gently loosen the seal from the cover using any of the following tools: seal puller or large screw driver, while trying to base it on some specific rules of bearing mind that if the area where the seal fits is scratched, gouged, or distorted it will lead to formation of an oil leak. Another way is to drill two 1/8-inch holes in the seal, taking the utmost care not to harm the seal housing or the crankshaft; then to screw two self-tapping screws into the holes and pull them with a slide hammer or self-locking pliers, going from side to side. Reduce the inner diameter of the bore to remove the old seal material and oxidation and place the new seal before the side with the lip faces the engine. It is recommended to coat this new seal with a small amount of oil at the outer radius to help installation, although it should not be too much oil. Using again a large socket and hammer, drive the seal into the bore of the shaft until it is seated correctly, that is from the outer face of the seal to the inner face until the seal comes into contact with the cover flange just as the previous seal. The rest of the process corresponds to the cleanness step by step and in the opposite order to the removal procedure.
