If the crank shaft is in the engine and if the engine is in the car I would put the car up on jack stands ( for safety). Remove the water pump pulley. That will allow you to remove the v-belt easily. Remove the plastic mud shield on the passenger side of the engine. Then remove the crankshaft pulley ( it is probably already off and you are working on the woodruff key that was indexing the crank pully). Make sure that you rotate the engine such that the key is pointing down. Be sure that you stuff a rag in around the snout of the crankshaft such that when the key breaks out of the keyway it cannot fall into the oil pan. The way I have gotten stubborn keys out of keyways was to go after them with a small hammer and punch. I try to worm the punch under the key which will lift the end of the key and make it easier to grasp and remove. Frankly I have never failed to get a key out of a keyway. Generally they are only a slight interference fit.
it is located on the head
Right hand. But, it is torqued to about 200ft lbs. It will take more than a breaker bar to remove it.

no fix for lifter.... must be replaced... remove valve cover, remove rocker arm assembly replace bad lifters.... put it all back together
no they didnt have them till 1996 with the obd2
On my "99" it is 17 MM. I've never changed a seal.
The timing marks on a 1993 Geo Metro are located on the on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. They must be aligned together to ensure proper initial timing.
you have to remove the head first.....

Hi there, You can find the Engine Crankshaft sensor for a 1998 Chevy Metro in the bottom front of the oilpan. Note, it goes thru the oilpan but, it's Not part of the oilpan or in the "oil chamber" itself. It's held in place with two (2) bolts. No oil will come out when you remove it. There is one (1) electrical connector on the sensor. Note, this can be easily mistaken for the oil pressure sensor. Note, they are prone to getting "dirty", so clean it off after removing. Good luck. John
What one of the 16 trim panels I can think of on the Metro And what year, Because it matters!
the seal on the crank shaft needs replaced
