Thanks for the concise video. FYI to those doing this: There is no need for fancy anodized tools. The pulley comes off easily with minimal effort. A carefully used small pry bar works fine; it's not a press fit. The seal comes out easily as well with a small screw driver or cotter pin puller. To put the new seal in I used a washer with a larger diameter than the crank shaft and pushed the seal in by hand until the water bottomed out on the timing cover.

Great detailed info without a bunch of bs. One of the better guided jobs ive seen on you tube and best of all, he's not obnoxious or clueless like so many on you tube... Not filled with a 30 minute intro or blowing smoke up everyone's a$$ either... Just a great to the point video.

[@dustyb9359]

Nice video. Kits are always nice to have. Pretty sure i would have cleaned the complete area first.

[@marinablueGS]

I appreciate the info about the tools, didn't know there was a shaft type seal puller. Also appreciate the words of encouragement at the 45 second mark.

[@johnarnold2104]

great video and tool recommendations. Thank you. the hardest part about this job was getting the belt routed again and cleaning up all the oil. thanks again

[@isaiastapiabermudez]

same for me. that belt was a pain on the ass to put back on

[@devbaurhoo885]

YOU are really fantastic Sir, thank you for your clear explanation, awesome.

[@FloridaGator76]

Great Detail thank you so much!!!! Awesome ❤

Excellent video!! Nicely explained..

[@jacobbishop686]

thankz,,super great video,,,, got my car going,,thankz again,!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jasoncollier3145]

Great video. My matrix is leaking oil in a similar fashion and I plan to replace this seal. Is there an oil pump seal as well, or just this seal? Is there a rear main or other engine seal that I should replace in addition to this seal and the valve cover gasket? Rear main? Do you have any of these videos for the 03-08 corolla/matrix?

[@augustinep6193]

Good. Thanks.

Great video ... hoping you will have a video for the same car on transmission fluid and filter change... thanks again

You're welcome Cody.

[@franklinwilliams9055]

Thank you!!

[@isaiastapiabermudez]

Thanks for your tutorial. That crank bolt never came off with the impact air tool. Had to purchase a long wrench bar, secure it against something firm, disconnect the spark and crank the engine a half a second and the bolt was loose. Also for those who don't remember, the toyota matrix spins clockwise, so secure your breaking bar towards the front of the vehicle.

[@JesusHernandez-lv4rx]

You can also buy the super heavy 19mm impact socket designed for crank bolt removal in Honda engines

[@ryantogo8359]

​@@JesusHernandez-lv4rxthe socket has nothing to do with the op not being able to get it off

[@elijahordanza8751]

If you can't take off the pulley bolt with the belt off with an impact can you still try the impact with belt on ?

[@Rico-Suave_]

Watched all of it

[@jirojosephesman8175]

Great video..do have any rear brake change..thank you have a blessed day and be blessed

[@MrSilvernblackblood]

Good detailed video, does this apply to 03-08 Toyota Matrix, 1.8L, 1ZZ-FE ?

[@abdulmohammed9979]

Perfect

[@TonyMontana-xf8fr]

Or what about if i use the bolt with a big enough washer and a socket.

[@MrHmhk]

good job

[@Nthefastlane]

Thanks Black!

[@gregorychater1884]

Is this the same procedure I would use to replace the front main seal on a 96 geo prizm 1.8L? Thank you!

[@kyb2005]

Which direction does the main seal face when installing? Spring side facing in our out?

[@Pinto9509]

Look at the old one before you remove it.

[@Poochinachichi4011]

Nice straight forward video, only thing that killed me was you didn’t clean off all that slung oil🤨 that’s part of the job.

[@TonyMontana-xf8fr]

I dont have these tools where im from and its very exp plus no rented tools here. Can i just eaisly tap the seal im with a rubber mallet?

[@lassiterdominguez2879]

Yes u totally can. U dont need the rainbow flag tool to remove the seal either it comes out w a screwdriver. I strongly suggest the national seal brand as well the toyota contrary to fan bois is trash and likes to leak again. I actually used a redi sleeve on my harmonic balancer to make sure it wouldnt be a problem too. U could also reuse the old seal turn it around as u tap on it instead to drive the new one in. Be careful not to tap too far in cuz the garbage toyota timing cover does not have a bottom on the other side so u could go past the cover 😂. It is also possible that since there is no bottom oil can seep thru the seal flange and timing cover so i would recommend to smudge some gasket sealant along its outer edge before u drive her in. Its ridiculous how this seal comes back leaking shortly after again.

[@jrcp87]

Which model Milwaukee impact is that one?

[@johnarnold2104]

hey there, I have done this job on my matrix twice now and each time it starts to weep again after 10 to 15000kms. I watched the video over and over and it seems that when you say the seal is "flush with the oil pump" its actually sitting just a hair inside ? im wondering if thats what i am doing wrong? thanks in advance

[@johnarnold2104]

i went with an oem seal this time, they do look a fair bit different so fingers crossed

[@1989fryguy]

Have you checked your PCV? It’s probably stuck shut.

[@TheAvada32002]

Where do I buy just this seal at? Been looking and can't find just the seal

[@gr2262]

Is the seal suppose to go flush to the outer part of the crankcase or all the way inside? I ask as i dont have the tool u have but do have a socket that fits perfectly around the seal. Let me know, thanks.

[@JesusHernandez-lv4rx]

Clean the old seal and you can use that to lightly tap the seal with a mallet until it’s in place

[@edgarvazquez1571]

Did you ever figure out if it goes flush or all the way in ?

[@davew1817]

Do you need to drain the oil first?

[@ONeal397]

No

[@tayvonrose2528]

No, the seal sits above the oil pan

[@thatcommutercorolla3391]

You do not need to remove the fender liner to remove the engine/side liner.

[@Limeayy]

Hi, can you list the tools you used in this video?

[@Nthefastlane]

My store with all the tools is always pinned to the top comment, and I also put it in the about me section. Look for..."Shop this video"

[@madmehrt7980]

Great video but that isn't a oil pump seal!! It's the timing cover crank seal.

[@ToyotaLand4d56journey]

Your task is more difficult in your Toyota Corolla than in my vehicle that is old (Toyota L)

[@REEDACT]

Thanks for the info.. I do think you actually made it seem more complicated than it is. I know this is your craft and this makes me appreciate that fully, but at the same time came here determined to get it done myself ~ without a full on workshop :P I think i'll just pay the AUD$500 lol

[@ryantogo8359]

If you think this looked complicated then you definitely shouldn't be doing your own automotive work.

[@Rgreergreer1]

Anyone not use the seal tool kit to put the new seal in?

[@JesusHernandez-lv4rx]

I just pushed it in with my hand and the handle end of a screwdriver wherever it was sticking out a little

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

No special tools needed! Just a mallet hammer, a hook pick tool to remove harmonic seal & a 36mm socket to hammer that seal back into place flushed!

[@andywiggens1069]

great vid...you should teach about 99% of the youtubers how to do a video without the BS

[@Nthefastlane]

Thank you, I appreciate that Andy. I completely understand where you're coming from. That's why I do my best to get right to the point. Nothing worse than trying to get something done and the content keeps stretching out and doesn't get to the point.
