Want this question answered?
how do you change crank seal on a 96 geo prizim
the front or rear seal on the timing chain side
Need to know what seal you are talking about. Front crankshaft seal, wheel seal, etc?
You have to remove the transmission from the vehicle, then remove the flexplate from the crankshaft. The seal is directly behind the flexplate.
It has a 1 piece solid round seal that slides over the rear of the crankshaft. You MUST pull the engine are the transmission to get to the seal.
how do i replace a front crankshaft seal on a 99 mitsubishi mirage
I am assuming that you mean the main seal on the crankshaft. Generally replacing the main seal requires that the crankshaft be removed. Which usually means the engine has to come out. I don't know anything about the 3.0l engine. Any of the vehicles that I owned that had a main seal leak never got changed.
Yes
That is a 1 piece seal. You will either have to pull the transmission out are the engine what ever you think is the easiest for you.The seal just drives in a housing over the back of the crankshaft.
yes
There is one on each end of the crankshaft. The front main seal is at the pulley and, while the rear main is at the transmission end.
On my "99" it is 17 MM. I've never changed a seal.
