  Q: How to replace a front Crankshaft Seal in V6 engine for Chevrolet Beretta?

  A: Remove the vibration damper. Take note of how the seal is installed-the new one must be installed to the same depth and facing the same direction. Carefully pry the oil seal out of the cover using a seal puller or a large screwdriver. Be extremely cautious to avoid distorting the cover or scratching the crankshaft! Wrap electricians tape around the tip of the screwdriver to prevent damage to the crankshaft. Apply clean engine oil or multi-purpose grease to the lips and outer edge of the new seal, then install it in the cover with the lip(spring side) facing inward. Drive the seal into place using a large socket and a hammer (if a large socket is not available, a piece of pipe will also suffice). Ensure that the seal enters the bore squarely and stop when the front face is at the appropriate depth. Reinstall the vibration damper.

  Q: How to replace a rear main oil seal in 2.3L four cylinder (Quad-4) engine?

  A: You can replace the one-piece type of a rear crankshaft seal without removing the engine. However, the transaxle must be removed and the engine supported during this process. First, remove the transaxle. Then, remove the pressure plate and clutch disc. Next, remove the flywheel. After that, remove the Oil Pan. Once the oil pan is off, there are bolts to be removed and then you can detach the seal housing along with peeling off all old gasket material from it. On a workbench, position the seal housing on top a couple of wooden blocks and drive out the old seal with a punch and hammer from the backside through. Don't cock seat in housing bore; just try to drive new seal into it using a block of wood or section of pipe if you have one large enough. Lubricate with moly-base grease for crankshaft seal journal and lip of new seal. Position new gasket on engine block. Slowly push new seal onto crankshaft. When you push housing against block as you work stiff lip over crankshaft with the end of an extension which is smooth, keep your eye on posture. Note: Slowly refers to pushing new seal on crankshaft. Actually, it should precede "slowly push". By install, tighten housing bolts. Finally, reinstall the transaxle.

  Q: How to replace a front Crankshaft Seal in 2.0L/2.2L four cylinder overhead valve engines for Chevrolet Beretta?

  A: Remove the Crankshaft Pulley. Pry the old oil seal out with a seal removal tool or a screwdriver. Be very careful not to nick or otherwise damage the crankshaft in the process. Wrap the screwdriver tip with vinyl tape to protect the crankshaft. Apply a thin coat of ATV-type sealant to the outer edge of the new seal. Lubricate the seal lip with moly-base grease or clean engine oil. Place the seal squarely in position in the bore and drive it into place. If you don't have the special, carefully tap the seal into place with a large socket or piece of pipe and a hammer. The outer diameter of the socket or pipe should be the same size as the seal outer diameter. Make sure the seal is seated completely in the bore. Install the crankshaft pulley. Reinstall the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal. Start the engine and check for oil leaks at the seal.

  Q: How to install a rear main oil seal for Chevrolet Beretta?

  A: Clean the bore in the block/cap and the seal journal on the Crankshaft. Check the crankshaft journal for scratches and nicks that could damage the new seal lip and cause oil leaks. If the crankshaft is damaged, the only alternative is a new or different crankshaft. Apply a light coat of engine oil or multi-purpose grease to the outer edge of the new seal. Lubricate the seal lip with moly-base grease or engine assembly lube. Press the new seal into place with the special tool, if available. The seal lip must face toward the front of the engine. If the special tool isn't available, carefully work the seal lip over the end of the crankshaft and tap the seal in with a hammer and blunt punch until it's seated in the bore. This engine is equipped with a one-piece seal that fits into a housing attached to the block. The crankshaft must be installed first and the main bearing caps bolted in place, then the new seal should be installed in the housing and the housing bolted to the block. Before installing the crankshaft, check the seal journal very carefully for scratches and nicks that could damage the new seal lip and cause oil leaks. If the crankshaft is damaged, the only alternative is a new or different crankshaft. The old seal can be removed from the housing with a hammer and punch by driving it out from the back side. Be sure to note how far it's recessed into the housing bore before removing it; the new seal will have to be recessed an equal amount. Be very careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the bore in the housing or oil leaks could develop. Make sure the housing is clean, then apply a thin coat of engine oil to the outer edge of the new seal. The seal must be pressed squarely into the housing bore. Work slowly and make sure the seal enters the bore squarely. The seal lips must be lubricated with multi-purpose grease or engine oil before the seal/housing is slipped over the crankshaft and bolted to the block. Use a new gasket-no sealant is required-and make sure the dowel pins are in place before installing the housing. Tighten the bolts a little at a time.

  Q: How to replace a rear main oil seal in 2.0L/2.2L four cylinder overhead valve engines for Chevrolet Beretta?

  A: Remove the flywheel/driveplate. Carefully remove the Crankshaft Seal from the engine block using a thin screwdriver or seal removal tool. Be very careful 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. Check the seal contact surface on the crankshaft for scratches and nicks that could damage the new seal lip and cause oil leaks. If the crankshaft is damaged, the only alternative is a new or different crankshaft. Inspect the seal bore for nicks and scratches. Carefully smooth it with a fine file if necessary, but don't nick the crankshaft in the process. It is recommended to use a special tool to install the new Crankshaft Seal. Lubricate the Crankshaft Seal lips. 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 to the crankshaft by hand-tightening the bolts. Turn the tool handle until the collar bottoms against the case, seating the seal. Loosen the tool handle and remove the bolts. Remove the tool. Check the seal and make sure it's seated squarely in the bore. Install the flywheel/driveplate. Install the transaxle.

  Q: How to replace a front Crankshaft Seal in 2.3L four cylinder (Quad-4) engine for Chevrolet Beretta?

  A: Remove the vibration damper. Pry the old oil seal out with a seal removal tool or a screwdriver. Be very careful not to nick or otherwise damage the crankshaft in the process and do not distort the timing chain cover. Apply a thin coat of RTV-type sealant to the outer edge of the new seal. Lubricate the seal lip with moly-base grease or clean engine oil. Place the seal squarely in position in the bore with the spring side facing in. Carefully tap the seal into place with a large socket or section of pipe and a hammer. The outer diameter of the socket or pipe should be the same size as the seal's outer diameter. Install the vibration damper. Start the engine and check for oil leaks at the seal.
