How do you remove and reinstall the driveplate in 3.4L V6 engine on Chevrolet Equinox?

To remove the transaxle, first raise the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Next, take out the bolts that secure the driveplate to the crankshaft, noting that most driveplates have locating dowels; if not, make marks for proper alignment during reassembly. If the crankshaft turns, use a screwdriver to prevent it from moving while removing the mounting bolts. When removing the driveplate, wear gloves to protect your fingers from sharp edges. Clean the driveplate to remove grease and oil, inspecting it for cracks and checking for any damaged ring gear teeth, and lay it on a flat surface to check for warpage. Clean and inspect the mating surfaces of the driveplate and crankshaft, replacing the crankshaft rear seal if it is leaking before reinstalling the driveplate. Position the driveplate against the crankshaft, aligning the marks made during removal, and ensure correct installation using any alignment dowels or staggered bolt holes present. Apply thread locking compound to the bolt threads and place the retaining ring on the driveplate before tightening the bolts to the specified torque, using a screwdriver to prevent the driveplate from turning. If the front pump seal or O-ring is leaking, replace it at this time. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal.
