How to replace a one-piece rear crankshaft seal on Chevrolet HHR?

The one-piece rear crankshaft seal is pressed into the engine block and the crankcase reinforcement section. Remove the transaxle, the clutch components, if equipped, and the flywheel. Pry out the old seal with a special seal removal tool or a flat-blade screwdriver. Caution: To prevent an oil leak after the new seal is installed, be very careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the crankshaft sealing surface or the bore in the engine block. Clean the crankshaft and seal bore in the block thoroughly and degrease these areas by wiping them with a rag soaked in lacquer thinner or acetone. Lubricate the lip of the new seal and the outer diameter of the crankshaft with engine oil. Position the new seal onto the crankshaft. Make sure the edges of the new oil seal are not rolled over. Note: When installing the new seal, if so marked, the words THIS SIDE OUT on the seal must face out, toward the rear of the engine. Use a special rear crankshaft seal installation tool or a socket with the exact diameter of the seal to drive the seal in place. Make sure the seal is not off-set; it must be flush along the entire circumference of the engine block and the crankcase reinforcement section. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.

Chevrolet HHR Crankshaft Seal

In Chevrolet HHR, Crankshaft Seal is one of the primary front-of-engine parts essential to preventing the leakage of engine oil from the crankcase. Usually made of metal and rubber, this circular seal helps in sustaining the lubrication between necessary engine components reducing the friction and helping the engine to have a longer life. A Crankshaft Seal that has been used for a while or has sustained some form of wreck may show signs of failing through oil leakage especially in vehicles that have been over-used and they are showing signs of high mileage. But the general form of an HHR may vary, as may the type of materials of a specific HHR model or its construction, even though the purpose of the device: to seal and protect the engine oil, remains the same.

Each OEM Chevrolet HHR Crankshaft Seal we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
