Q:
Why should the old seal be pried out carefully for the 1998 Nissan Pathfinder? Posted by Customer
A:
If the crankshaft is damaged, the new seal will leak.
Posted by NissanPartsDeal Specialist
Q:
What steps are necessary before installing the new oil seal for the 1998 Nissan Pathfinder? Posted by Customer
A:
Before installation, apply a thin coat of multi-purpose grease to the inside of the seal. Fabricate a seal installation tool with a short length of pipe of equal or slightly smaller outside diameter than the seal itself. File the end of the pipe that will bear down on the seal until it's free of sharp edges. You'll also need a long bolt of the same thread pitch as the crankshaft pulley bolt and a large washer, slightly larger in diameter than the pipe, on which the bolt head can seat.
