How to remove and install the rear crankshaft seal in 3.8L V6 engine on 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix?

Remove the transaxle and then the driveplate. Using a thin screwdriver or seal removal tool, carefully remove the oil seal from the engine block, taking care not to damage the crankshaft surface while prying the seal out. Clean the bore in the block and the seal contact surface on the crankshaft, checking for scratches and nicks that could damage the new seal lip and cause oil leaks; if the crankshaft is damaged, a new or different crankshaft is necessary. Inspect the seal bore for nicks and scratches, smoothing it with a fine file if needed, but avoid nicking the crankshaft. A special tool is recommended for installing the new oil seal; lubricate the lips of the seal with clean engine oil and slide the seal onto the mandril until the dust lip bottoms squarely against the collar of the tool. If the special tool isn't available, carefully work the seal lip over the crankshaft and tap it into place with a hammer and punch. Align the dowel pin on the tool with the dowel pin hole in the crankshaft and attach the tool by hand-tightening the bolts. Turn the tool handle until the collar bottoms against the case, seating the seal, then loosen the tool handle and remove the bolts and the tool. Check the seal to ensure it is seated squarely in the bore, then install the driveplate and the transaxle.
