You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 96065634 fits your vehicle.

To perform this procedure, it is necessary to first remove the transmission from the car. Replacing the seal does not require either dropping the oil pan or removing the seal retainer. However, installing a lip seal in this manner is not advisable because it has a stiff lip that could be cocked in the retainer bore or harmed while fitting. You could try and pry out the old seal. The old seal can therefore be gently pried out using a thin screw driver whose tip should have tape wrapped around it so as to safeguard against damaging the crankshaft sealing surface or the seal bore. Apply multi-purpose grease to both, the crankshaft's seal journal and a new seal's lip and then insert it carefully into place where it belongs. Use a wide socket to drive in your new gasket into position gently but firmly. Take your time since lip of this one is rigid and can only be applied smoothly with an extension's end guiding it onto crankshaft's journal by tapping on its edge for sealing up right there before you are through with the installation so don't hurry so you don't ruin everything involving your well-being in such case. But, to get rid of all gasket material, remove bolts after taking out oil pan and its drain plug then peel off all old gasket material that may still be left on mounting flange cleaning area thoroughly when done to ensure that none goes back into engine system further causing such problems again later on down line which need be prevented by placing back these four screws holding inplace at their respective holes once again tightening them until they seem slightly snug enough though not too much otherwise we risk stripping some threads completely ruining everything since our vehicle will remain idle until properly fixed up like original state always supposed remain according maker's specifications just like was already stated above about this entire paragraph concerning subject matter under discussion here namely why exactly are we doing so being explained?. Put some wooden blocks on your workbench then position retainer assembly right above these blocks so that old seal can be driven out from behind it with help of punch as well as hammer. Supporting a retainer on two wooden blocks till it is removed from block, drive an old seal out using similar tools. Drive a new seal into the retainer using a wood block. There, you just need to use a wood block or if available, a piece of pipe whose diameter should not surpass that of the old seal's outside diameter to enable you push in your new one without cocking it in retainer bore thus make sure all these fit properly straight away before you proceed further for installation done ensure it has been completed correctly since we don't want any leakage coming from this point onto engine parts again causing serious damages instead only enough pressure left against sealing surface preventing any more oil leaks would occur even after driving around quite some distance still making sure nothing happens through entire process despite our already tiredness right now because there might still remain few other problems yet unsolved especially those related to such operations requiring utmost keenness while handling them whatsoever ultimately causing either in result causing their own finally finishing off job therefore become extremely important look at steps below which would guarantee safety where after they are done following exactly what had been stated above concerning subject matter under discussion here namely why exactly are we doing so being explained?. Put the engine on its side and slide the gasket over top. The crankshaft should be fitted slowly and carefully with the seal. Use an extension to gently work the lip of the seal onto the crankshaft as you push against the retainer with your hand. Install and tighten the torque retainer bolts. And then do everything opposite to what was said above? Start up your engine and look for oil leaks.

Yes, it is possible to replace the seal without removing the oil pan or seal retainer.

Yes, in some cases, you may be able to remove the front cover without removing the oil pan. In such cases, only the front pan-to-cover bolts need to be removed.

The seal must be pressed squarely into the housing bore, preferably using a press. If a press is not available, it can be tapped into place with a hammer and a block of wood.

Thoroughly clean and inspect the seal bore and sealing surface on the crankshaft. Minor imperfections can be removed with emery cloth.
