How to remove and install the front crankshaft seal in 3.6L V6 engine on 2008 Pontiac G6?

Remove the cranks aft pulley. Note how the seal is installed; the new one must be installed to the same depth and facing the same way. Carefully pry the oil seal out of the cover with a seal puller, or alternatively, screw a self-tapping screw partially into the seal and use pliers as a lever to pull it from the engine. If replacing the seal with the timing chain cover removed, support the cover on two blocks of wood and drive the seal out from the backside with a hammer and punch. Exercise caution to avoid scratching, gouging, or distorting the area where the seal fits, as this could lead to leaks. Apply clean engine oil or multi-purpose grease to the outer edge of the new seal, then install it in the cover with the lip facing inward. Drive the seal into place with a large socket and a hammer, or a piece of pipe if a large socket isn't available, ensuring the seal enters the bore squarely and stops at the proper depth. Check the surface on the pulley hub where the oil seal rides; if it is grooved from long-term contact, the pulley should be replaced. Lubricate only the inside of the pulley hub with clean engine oil and install the crankshaft pulley. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal.
