Crankshaft seal
1. Remove the timing belt and crankshaft toothed pulley (see paragraph 7).
2. Mark how deep the cuff is inserted into the mounting hole, and then cut off the edge of the cuff with a sharp knife.
3. Carefully remove the seal using a screwdriver or suitable puller. When using a screwdriver, wrap its tip with adhesive tape to avoid scratching the hole in the housing and damaging the crankshaft (if the shaft is damaged the new seal will leak).
4. Clean the engine bore and coat the outer lip of the new seal with motor oil or multipurpose grease. Apply the same grease to the sealing lip.
5. Using a suitable drift or socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the seal, carefully press the new seal into place with a hammer. Do not allow the seal to be installed at an angle. Insert it to the depth marked when removing it. Check the position of the seal after installation to ensure that its spring does not protrude.
6. Install the toothed pulley on the crankshaft and put on the timing belt (see paragraph 8).
7. Start the engine and check for oil leaks through the front cuff.
Camshaft seals
8. Remove the timing belt and camshaft sprocket (see paragraph 7).
9. Remove the bolts and disconnect the rear timing belt cover.
10. Note how deep the seal is inserted into the mounting hole. Wrap the tip of the screwdriver with adhesive tape to avoid scratching the mounting hole and damaging the camshaft (if the shaft is damaged, the new seal will leak).
11. Clean the bore and apply motor oil or multi-purpose grease to the outer edge of the new seal. Apply the same grease to the sealing lip.
12. Using a suitable mandrel or socket head with an outside diameter slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the seal, carefully press the new seal into place with a hammer. Do not allow the seal to be skewed when installing. It should be inserted to the depth marked during removal.
13. Reinstall the rear timing belt cover and tighten the bolts.
14. Install the camshaft sprocket in place and put on the timing belt (see paragraph 7).
15. Start the engine and check for oil leaks through the camshaft seal.
