Front Radial Seal

Two Kent-Moore tools are required for this procedure:

Front Seal Puller(J47272) Front Seal Installer(J-45391)

Section 1.7.1

Front Radial Seal Removal

Remove the front radial seal as follows:

1. Park the vehicle on a level spot, set the parking brakes, and chock the tires.

PERSONAL INJURY (eov84)

To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the vehicle is parked on alevel surface, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked.

2. Tilt the hood.3. From underneath the front of the engine, remove the bumper beam. Push the support

angle bracket fairing down to create an opening in the bumper.4. Remove the vibration damper from the engine through the opening in the bumper.Refer

to "1.12.1 Crankshaft Vibration Damper Removal".

5. Check the seal for wear at the places where it contacts the crankshaft.NOTICE:When drilling pilot holes for the removal of the seal ensure that the drill is straight and

perpendicular to the seal. Failure to drill the hole straight could result in damage to the

seal bore, resulting in the replacement of the front cover housing.

6. Note: When drilling holes for screws, make sure to coat the drill bit with grease to catchthe shavings.
