How to replace the Crankshaft Seal on Subaru Outback?

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the timing belt and crankshaft sprocket. Carefully pry the seal out of the cover with a seal puller or a large screwdriver. An alternative method is to drill two 1/8-inch holes in the seal, being careful not to hit the seal housing or crankshaft. Screw two self-tapping screws into the holes and pull on them, alternating side to side, with a slide hammer or self-locking pliers on the screws. Clean the bore to remove any old seal material and corrosion. Position the new seal in the bore with the seal lip (usually the side with the spring) facing IN (toward the engine). A small amount of oil applied to the outer edge of the new seal will make installation easier - but don't overdo it! Drive the seal into the bore with a large socket and hammer until it's completely seated. Select a socket that's the same outside diameter as the seal and make sure the new seal is pressed into place until it bottoms against the cover flange, to the same depth as the original seal. Install the sprocket and timing belt. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.

Subaru Outback Crankshaft Seal

A Subaru Outback Crankshaft Seal is fitted at the front of the crankshaft to prevent engine oil from escaping. In this way, the crankcase gets proper lubrication. The Crankshaft Seal is basically round and fits tight against the spinning shaft. It is created from a combination of metal and rubber to stop leakage while the engine runs. It acts as a barrier that prevents the oil from spilling out and also reduces the friction and wear of moving parts. The engine nose may leak oil due to a worn or damaged Crankshaft Seal, and drivers may notice tell-tale leaks that signal the need for attention. Using your Subaru at high mileage increases the chances that the lip of the seal can harden or fail. Regular inspection will help maintain your engine's health. In the case of any Subaru Outback leak, detection does the trick and prevents low-oil scenarios that could raise internal temperatures as well as shorten component life. The Crankshaft Seal fitted on the Subaru Outback has a simple yet important design for the proper functioning of the crank assembly. The Crankshaft Seal keeps oil contained. Thus, the Outback engine performs well during the daily drive.
