  Q: How to remove Crankshaft Seal and Crankshaft in V8 engine on Chevrolet El Camino?

  A: Crankshaft and main bearings should be removed only with the engine taken out of the car and then the engine must be fully dismantled. It is necessary to insure ourselves that the original numbers or letters on the 5 main bearing caps of the engine block are visible and clear; if not, small dents may be made according to the same combinations as were the connecting rods and caps to guarantee that the main bearing caps are put on their proper places. Subsequently, each of the main bearing cap together with its bearing should be removed by lifting it off the crankshaft and all the main bearing caps and bearings must be arranged on another workspace arranged in serial fashion with relation to the engine block. The crankshaft should then be carefully lifted off the engine block in order not to cause any damage. The oil seal consists of two halves which have to be taken out, next, the main bearings have to be taken out from both the cylinder block and the caps, but it is necessary to sort them according to their positions. Last but not least, called 'Crankshaft gear removal tool or Puller,' the gear at the front of the crankshaft can be effortlessly removed.
