Remove the transaxle. Third, remove the
Flywheel or driveplate if your engine has one of these installed. Check for the leakage at the Crankshaft Seal,
Oil Pan and the engine block as sometimes, the leakage at the oil pan gasket may resemble like leakage at the rear Crankshaft Seal. Slowly loosen the Crankshaft Seal from the block with the help of a screwdriver as damaging the crankshaft or the seal bore should be avoided at all costs. Using a shop towel, wipe the exterior of the seal bore to remove all the traces of oil and dirt. Coat the lips of the new seal with engine oil or multi-purpose grease and slide the lips over the end of the crankshaft; the lips should face the engine block; gently push the lip seal onto the crankshaft. An aftermarket tool might be available at most auto part stores which can be used for this purpose. Make sure not to take the seal in any deeper than it was originally installed to. Last, replace the flywheel/driveplate or if you have purchased a new one then fit it and after that place the transaxle.
