How to Replacement Front Crankshaft Oil Seal BMW 318i E46 1.9L 1998~2001 M43TU A4S 310R

Question: Did you need to drain the oil out of the car in order to remove the seal? Also, what were the simtons that made you replace it to begin with? Thanks 😊

For a new bolt. You should replace it ideally.

What about tightening as much as possible with just a drop of blue antiseize. Not everybody can afford a 300nm wrench for 1 job only

[@sanolivo6867]

@@user-ki4llalm6kr yeah I have a 3/4 drive torque wrench, just don't have the torque spec

[@jw200]

I tightened by hand and with pipe. No torque wrench. I just tightened as much I could. 3 years of driving after that and no issues. I didnt use new bolt.
