Crankshaft Front Main Seal Replacement and Balancer Removal Ford Contour V6 1995-2000

[@Howardtripper]

that ring on the dampner where the seal runs looks quite deep and could cause a leak it best to put a sleeve on the dampner to stop leaks

[@Leo1896]

most likely the dampener bolt should be torqued to spec at the end, no? great video

[@duckprotectoralex4433]

Hello, I got a V6 ford tempo... I would like to change the AT dipstick seal. What do I need to do.? Is it just pulling it out and put on the new rubber seal onto dipstick tupe and push tube back to AT unit?

[@regebosman8304]

Is that damper installer kit necessary? Why not bring it in place tightening the bolt?

[@2carpros]

You can pull the threads right out doing that. Then you are really in a heap of trouble. Thanks for watching!

[@martinslattery7340]

should the bolt be torqued

[@gustavomelendez3477]

thank you 2carpros!

[@2carpros]

Thank you for watching!

[@brandonwebb1819]

How far should the seal go in

[@wsfd4321]

Until it seats fully.....it'll stop.

[@brandonwebb1819]

wsfd4321 so not flush

[@hoppygoodness]

please show rear main seal!!

[@Jeremiah.Euclide]

good instructional, however might want to torque the crank bolt.

[@2carpros]

+soundmanfrommars13 it is difficult to torque the crank bolt because the engine just turns, that's why we used an air impact, but an electric impact will work too.

[@panagiotisf7228]

+2CarPros cant u hold engine front fly wheel

[@2carpros]

not really, the only other thing you can try is to remove the starter and jam a large screw driver into the flywheel.

[@haroldreyes7549]

What kind of damage will result when crankshaft nut is tightened to AN UNKNOWN TORQUE? pretty amateurish.@@2carpros

[@rancher12121]

good vid, thanks

[@hugoayala6472]

I need to change the bearing

[@zloben9000]

hold back the silicone

[@svg09851]

Is the silicone a bad idea?

[@princerd10]

Silicone is should not be used on the seal. However, you should put some Black RTV sealant on the keyway groove on the harmonic balancer to prevent leaks.
