how do i replace a front crankshaft seal on a 99 mitsubishi mirage
Very carefully
a lot of work. the transmission has to be removed.
Cost me $185 at the dealership.
That engine has a solid round one piece rear main seal that slides over the rear of the crankshaft. You will either have to remove the engine are transmission to be able to replace the rear seal. No other way to do it. ( BIG JOB ) and a good paying job.
No you can not. It is a solid round seal that slides over the back of the crankshaft where the fly-wheel bolts up to the crankshaft.
Should pull the drive pulley and then you can pop off the old seal with a screw drive and press in the new seal.
NO you do not. It has a 1 piece solid round rear main seal that slides over the back of the crankshaft. You can either pull the transmission are engine out to replace the seal. Theres no other way.
Need more info like the year, make, engine size and front or rear crankshaft seal.
You need to remove the belt pulley, then timing belt, its pulley sitting on the crankshaft. After that you will gain access to the seal. The seal has to carefully pried out. Make sure that you do not scratch the crankshaft surface as well as the seal seat in the engine body. Put a little bit of clean oil on the seal before installing it, it will make your life significantly easier. Make sure that you do not damage new seal when you are installing it.
You have to remove the serpentine belt and drivebelt accessories then the passenger side engine mount, remove the timing cover, remove the timing belt, and the crankshaft sprocket to access the seal. It's about a day and a half of work.
behind the vibration dampner (and lowerpulley on end of crankshaft) you will need a dampner puller and seal remover to replace it
