How do you remove and install a front crankshaft pulley and oil seal on Pontiac Vibe?

Remove the crankshaft pulley and note the installation depth and orientation of the seal, ensuring the new one is installed the same way. Carefully pry the oil seal out of the cover using a seal puller or a large screwdriver, wrapping electrician's tape around the screwdriver tip to prevent damage to the crankshaft. Cut the lip of the seal with a utility knife to facilitate removal, taking care not to distort the cover or scratch the crankshaft. Apply clean engine oil or multi-purpose grease to the outer edge of the new seal, then install it in the cover with the lip facing inward. Drive the seal into place using a seal driver or a large socket and hammer, ensuring it enters the bore squarely and stops at the correct depth. Check the surface on the pulley hub where the oil seal makes contact; if it is grooved, a press-on sleeve may be available to renew the sealing surface, which can be pressed into place with a hammer and a block of wood. Lubricate the pulley hub with clean chassis grease and reinstall the crankshaft pulley. Install the crankshaft pulley retaining bolt and tighten it to the specified torque, with the remainder of the installation being the reverse of removal.

Pontiac Vibe Crankshaft Seal

The Crankshaft Seal is an important element of the Pontiac Vibe automobiles installed at the front of the engine and it is intended to keep the oil from leaking out of the crankcase. Often made of metal and rubber this round seal is used to help retain lubrication in the engine which can help to lessen the friction that contributes to wear of the engine parts. In the later years of usage, the Crankshaft Seal may degrade or get compromising in quality that may cause oil leakage, most common in Pontiac Vibe cars with high mileage. Some of the signs of a failing crankshaft seal should not be taken lightly because replacement is critical to the working of the engine and to prevent further problems. The Crankshaft Seal of the Pontiac Vibe is quite basic in terms of structure but it has a major impact when it comes to the optimal operational output of the automobile.

Each OEM Pontiac Vibe Crankshaft Seal we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
