Section 1.9 Crankshaft Seal Wear Sleeve

The crankshaft seal wear sleeve is used on the front or rear of the crankshaft in conjunction with an oversize seal. The below listed special tools are required for this procedure:

Seal and Wear Sleeve Service Kit, (J-47273) o Universal Driver Handle, (J8092, part of toolset J-47273) o Front/Rear Wear Sleeve Installer, (J-45989) , part of service kit J47273) o Front/Rear Wear Sleeve Installer, (J-47271, part of service kit J47273)

Section 1.9.1 Front Crankshaft Seal Wear Sleeve Removal Perform the following to remove the front crankshaft seal wear sleeve: 1. Park the vehicle on a level spot, set the parking brakes, and chock the tires. 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 and pulley from the engine through the opening in the bumper. Refer to "1.12.1 Crankshaft Vibration Damper Removal" . 5. Remove the front radial seal. Refer to "1.7.1 Front Radial Seal Removal" . 6. Clean the seal wear sleeve seat area on the crankshaft. 7. Assemble the front seal wear sleeve removal tool (J-45989), part of service kit J47273). See Figure "Front Seal Wear Sleeve Removal Tool J-45989" .

Note: Once the seal wear sleeve is fully removed the tool will drop. Use care to support the tool during the removal procedure. Section 1.9.2 Front Crankshaft Seal Wear Sleeve Installation Perform the following to install the front crankshaft seal wear sleeve:

1. Clean the seal wear sleeve seat area on the crankshaft.

NOTICE:
Be sure to heat the new seal wear sleeve as evenly as possible. If available, an oven should be used. Uneven heating of the seal wear sleeve can weaken the material and reduce the service life. 2. Install the seal wear sleeve with the rounded edge toward the inside of the seal wear sleeve installer tool (J47271, part of toolset J-47273). Heat the tool and sleeve together in an oven to a maximum of 150C (302F).

BURNS (cit16) To avoid injury from burning, use lifting tools and heat-resistant gloves when handling heated components. 3. Remove the tool and sleeve from the oven and thread driver handle (J8092, part of toolset J-47273) into the seal wear sleeve installer tool (J47271, part of toolset J-47273).

NOTICE:
Ensure that the rounded edge of the seal wear sleeve faces out and is flush with the crankshaft. The installer tool guarantees the seal wear sleeve position onto the crankshaft. Failing to use the correct tool may affect the service life of the seal. 4. Drive the seal wear sleeve onto the front of the crankshaft. 5. Wait until the seal wear sleeve cools to room temperature before installing the oversize radial seal. Refer to "1.7.2 Front Radial Seal Installation" to install the front oversize radial seal. Section 1.9.3 Rear Crankshaft Seal Wear Sleeve Removal Perform the following to remove the rear crankshaft seal wear sleeve: 1. Remove the flywheel. Refer to "1.13.1 Flywheel Removal" .

1. Flywheel Figure 3. Rear Seal Wear Sleeve Removal 2. Position the assembled seal wear sleeve removal tool (J47271, part of toolset J-47273 ) ensuring that the plate is positioned behind the lip of the seal wear sleeve. See Figure "Rear Seal Wear Sleeve Removal" . Note: Lubricate the forcing screw with the supplied high-pressure lubricant.

3. Turn the forcing screw until the seal wear sleeve has been removed from the flywheel. Discard the seal wear sleeve. See Figure "Rear Seal Wear Sleeve Removal Using Tool J45989" .

NOTICE:
Ensure that the rounded edge of the seal wear sleeve faces out and is flush with the crankshaft. The installer tool guarantees the seal wear sleeve position onto the crankshaft. Failing to use the correct tool may affect the service life of the seal. 5. Drive the seal wear sleeve onto the flywheel hub area. 6. Wait until the seal wear sleeve cools to room temperature before installing the oversize radial seal. Refer to "1.7.2 Front Radial Seal Installation" to install the front oversize radial seal.
