Remove and Replace Crankshaft Seal

[@DavidEscobedo-qp6mi]

I’ve watched countless diy videos and none are presented the way you did. Basic info is given and the explanation was clear and easy to understand. Amazing !

[@frugaldiy1]

Thank you, David. ;) Merry Christmas!

[@waen606]

Totally .

[@carlosmayorca4642]

Thank you so, so much for this video! Most of the videos showed people taking the whole oil pump out and I felt so relieved when I saw how easy you made this look. Plus points for the southern accent, it makes the video even better haha. Cheers!

[@denisvasquez5949]

that was craftsmanship, I learned something new from an professional mechanic! thanks!!

[@frugaldiy1]

You're welcome, Denis. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and nice comment. It means a lot to me. Happy DIYing!

[@noey5766]

Thank you ladies. Your attention to detail, and sharing all the very important and necessary steps is astonishing. Really appreciate these videos.

[@frugaldiy1]

You're welcome, Noey--always! I have great respect for you doing the work on your vehicle. You save bunches of money and can retire earlier. Proud of you kiddo. ;)

[@danielk7783]

Nicely done. That’s the way an instructional video should be made. Thank you.

[@frugaldiy1]

You're welcome, Daniel, and thank you for the thoughtful comment you left. It really means a lot to me.

[@eaglerider94]

Excellent tutorial. Will be doing this on my BMW E34 M50 tomorrow. Everything is ready, just need to carefully remove the seal. I've done it on my BMW E39 a few years ago but came here to refresh my memory.

[@frugaldiy1]

Thank you, Eaglerider94. It's a fun project. Enjoy! ;)

[@bigc6812]

Great video on installing one of these told me exactly what I needed to know without a bunch of useless stuff leading up to the instructions. Thanks!

[@bigbang7897]

Thank you so much I was struggling with a transmission seal this morning on my Jeep and then I used this method it worked first time you saved my day.

[@Anonymous-xy5pr]

THIS VIDEO SAVED ME 2,500 US ON REPAIRS THANK YOU

[@markflierl1624]

Very good video. I had a hell of a time removing my harmonic balancer.

[@bdubs6666]

Nice video well explained, and no nonsense. I have a 87 Honda Accord, but the principles you showed, will work on my car. Thanks

[@frugaldiy1]

Thank you, B Dubs, for the nice comment. I'm glad the video helps you change the seal on your car. Best of luck with your project.

[@pash3874]

Thanks so much for your video and the others, It gave me the confidence to change the cam belt and how to to get the crankshaft seal out, all was successful and the car is mint now, I think you saved me thousands, cheers mate👍

[@frugaldiy1]

You're welcome, P Ash. Thank you for leaving such a nice comment. It's wonderful to hear the videos helped you. Yep, you save a lot of money when you DIY. Happy DIYing!

[@briannielsen7176]

I tried that on my transmission seal that where the driveshaft goes into it. Screw pulled out so I used a slightly larger screw. That screw pulled out too. Fortunately there was enough of a lip on the seal sticking out where I used a flathead screwdriver and hammer to pop the old seal out myself.

[@edgarrodriguez6601]

Great video. Great tip. Thank you! Cheers from Mexico!

[@khaledabdullah7743]

Good idea to dig out the old seal and replace it.

[@aaronbeepdoo9728]

You make very clear and awesome videos.

[@frugaldiy1]

Thank you for saying that, aaron. That means a lot to me. ;) Happy DIYing!

[@reginaldojainar1071]

Very well done…loud & clear❤

[@frugaldiy1]

Thank you. I appreciate that a lot. ;)

[@beasyphone]

Wayched more than i "meant to" as your demeanor, voice, etc reminds me so much of seejanedrill lol. I am literally scrollingvtrying to find tricks on zr2 front mains but theyre all: 1.Drop Diff ..... yeah, if i was going to do that id have replaced my pitman a year ago when the USMC "mechsnic" i paid to do it failed miserably. Ill just end up doing it hanging upside down from my A-Frame engine hoist lol. Good video. I use self tappers on wheel seals all the time, as it takes 13 seconds instead of following mack volvo impact protocol which takes 30 minutes...

[@frugaldiy1]

Thank you, beasyphone. ;)

[@KG-dg3qt]

Hello, how was the crankshaft pulley removed?

[@frugaldiy1]

Hello, KG. It was removed by the bump start method. Here's a link to my video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXiWhI1shcqWmKM

Smart

[@frugaldiy1]

Thank you, hasan.

[@hasanalzaabi]

@@frugaldiy1 is it possible to pull it usin a pick hook tool?

[@frugaldiy1]

I don't think so. Those seals are in there pretty darn tight. The method we used allowed us to drill into the metal band and get some "bite" to pull the seal out.

[@lylastephens3836]

awesomeness

[@frugaldiy1]

Thank you, Lyla!

[@jennymunger2758]

You chicks are amazing !!

[@BigZBeatZ503]

The seal you put in isn’t even the same seal… totally different opening on the inside instead of on the back side like the one you took out. Makes no sense.

[@LiminalStoriesVerified]

Thank you
