How to remove and install the rear crankshaft seal in four cylinder engine on Chevrolet Malibu?

The one-piece rear Crankshaft Seal is pressed into the engine block and the lower crankcase. Begin by removing the trans axle and the drive plate. For 1.5L engines, take off the crankshaft position sensor reluctor ring from the end of the crankshaft, ensuring to note the alignment hole location for proper reinstallation. Carefully pry out the old seal using a special seal removal tool or a flat-blade screwdriver, taking care not to scratch or damage the crankshaft sealing surface or the bore of the lower crankcase and engine block to prevent oil leaks after the new seal is installed. Thoroughly clean the crankshaft and seal bore in the block, degreasing these areas with a rag soaked in brake system cleaner, and lubricate the lip of the new seal and the outer diameter of the crankshaft with engine oil. For 1.5L engines, apply a small amount of RTV sealant where the lower crankcase and engine block meet in the rear Crankshaft Seal bore. Position the new seal onto the crankshaft, ensuring the edges are not rolled over, and use a special rear Crankshaft Seal installation tool or a socket with the exact diameter of the seal to drive it in place, making sure it is flush along the entire circumference of the engine block and crankcase reinforcement section. If marked, the words THIS SIDE OUT on the seal must face out, toward the rear of the engine. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal.
