To replace the crankshaft front oil seal, first remove the crankshaft pulley and, for models from 2001 to 2006, take off the timing belts and crankshaft sprocket. Take note of the seal's installation depth and orientation, then carefully pry it out using a seal puller or a large screwdriver, ensuring not to damage the crankshaft or distort the cover; wrapping electrician's tape around the screwdriver tip can help prevent damage. Apply clean engine oil or multi-purpose grease to the outer edge of the new seal and install it with the lip facing inward, using a seal driver or a large socket and hammer to ensure it is squarely positioned at the correct depth. Lubricate the pulley hub with clean engine oil and reinstall the crankshaft pulley, tightening the retaining bolt to the specified torque. The installation process is the reverse of removal. For camshaft oil seals on models from 2001 to 2006, remove the timing belt and camshaft sprockets, then note the installation depth of the seals before prying them out with a tape-wrapped screwdriver, taking care not to scratch the bore or camshaft. Clean the bores and coat the outer edge of the new seals with oil or grease, applying grease to the lips as well. Use a seal driver or a socket slightly smaller than the seal's outer edge to carefully drive the new seals into place, ensuring they are squarely installed to the same depth as the originals. Reinstall all removed components, ensuring correct alignment of the belt and sprockets, and clean the areas around the seals to detect any future leaks. After operating the vehicle for a few days, check for leaks.

To replace the crankshaft front oil seal on 2005 and earlier models, first remove the timing belt and crankshaft sprocket, then slip off the sensor ring and the spacer behind it. For 3.8L and 2011 and later 3.5L models, remove the crankshaft pulley. Carefully pry the seal out using a screwdriver or seal removal tool, ensuring not to scratch the housing bore or damage the crankshaft, as this could lead to leaks with the new seal. Clean the bore in the engine and coat the outer edge of the new seal with engine oil or multi-purpose grease, applying the same lubricant to the seal lip. Use a seal driver or a socket slightly smaller than the seal's outside diameter to drive the new seal into place with a hammer, ensuring it is installed squarely and to the same depth as the original, checking afterward to confirm the spring is in place. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal, and after running the engine, check for oil leaks at the front seal. For camshaft oil seals on 2005 and earlier models, remove the timing belt and camshaft sprocket(s), detach the rear timing belt cover, and note the seal's seating depth before carefully prying it out with a screwdriver wrapped in tape to avoid damage. Clean the bore and coat the new seal's outer edge with engine oil or multi-purpose grease, applying grease to the seal lip as well. Drive the new seal into place using a seal driver or a socket, ensuring it is squarely installed to the same depth as the original. Reinstall the rear timing belt cover and tighten the bolts, then reinstall the camshaft sprocket(s) and timing belt, verifying that all timing marks are aligned to prevent major engine damage. Finally, run the engine and check for oil leaks at the camshaft seal.

To pull out the crankshaft front oil seal on 2006 and earlier models, you have to remove the timing belt together with the crankshaft sprocket; and the faces of the sensor ring as well as the spacer behind it. Specs remove the crankshaft pulley for models manufactured on or after 2007. Gently twist the seal open with a screwdriver or the seal opener making sure that it does not harm the housing bore or the crank shaft because this will cause leaking with the new seal. Debris the bore in the engine and apply a thin layer of engine oil or multipurpose grease on the outer perimeter of the new seal as well as to the seal lips. A seal driver or a socket slightly smaller than the OD of the new seal must be used to force the new seat in the housing with a hammer; one may assure that the new seat is inserted at the same depth as the original and square to the bore. One must ensure the spring is in place afterwards. Install the crankshaft timing sprocket and the timing belt and start the car to confirm if it leaks oil at the front seal. For camshaft oil seals on 2006 and earlier models, first, unscrew the timing belt and the camshaft sprocket(s), and then unscrew the rear timing belt cover. Observe the depth of the seal before lifting it up with a screwdriver, ensure you do not injure the bore or the camshaft. Scrub the bore and before installing the new seal apply some engine oil or the multi-purpose grease, to the circumference of the seal on the seal lip side. Insert the new seal into place with the seal driver or socket which should ensure that the new seal is properly aligned and at the depth equal to that of the old one. Replace back the rear timing belt cover and fasten the bolts; replace back the camshaft sprocket(s) and timing belt and ensure that all the timing marks are lined well to minimize major engine breakdown. Last but not the least, it is suggested to start the engine and examine as well as search for the drop of oil at the camshaft seal.

Clean the bores and coat the outer edge of the new seals with oil or grease, also applying grease to the lips of the seals.

Slip off the sensor ring and the spacer behind it.

Remove the timing cover, timing belt, and camshaft timing belt sprocket.
