    Q:
    How to replace the rear Crankshaft Seal and rear oil seal retainer on 2.4L four cylinder Nissan Xterra? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Remove the transmission. Remove the flywheel/driveplate. Remove the rear Crankshaft Seal retainer from the block by unbolting the rear Crankshaft Seal retainer from the engine block and oil pan. Scrape any sealant or gasket material from the retainer, oil pan and the block. Position the seal and retainer assembly between two wood blocks, to evenly support the aluminum housing, and drive the old seal out with a hammer and punch. A screwdriver can also be used to pry the seal out, being careful not to gouge or nick the housing during seal removal. Place the new seal squarely on the retainer and drive it into the retainer with a wood block or a section of pipe slightly smaller in diameter than the outside diameter of the seal. Lubricate the crankshaft seal journal and the lip of the new seal with multi-purpose grease. Apply a continuous 1/8-inch bead of RTV sealant around the perimeter of the seal retainer. Also apply sealant to the bottom of the retainer (oil pan mating surface). Slowly and carefully push the seal onto the crankshaft. The seal lip is stiff, so work it onto the crankshaft with a smooth object such as the end of a socket extension as you push the retainer against the block. Install and tighten the retainer bolts securely. The remaining steps are the reverse of removal.

    Q:
    What should be done after cleaning the retainer for the 1994 Nissan Quest? Posted by Customer
    A:
    A thin coat of engine oil should be applied to the outer edge of the new seal.

    Posted by NissanPartsDeal Specialist
    Q:
    How should the old seal be removed from the retainer for the 1999 Nissan Quest? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Carefully pry out the old seal from the retainer using a seal removal tool or screwdriver, taking care not to damage the crankshaft, as this could cause the new seal to leak.
    Posted by NissanPartsDeal Specialist
    Q:
    What is the recommended method for pressing the new seal into the retainer for the 2003 Nissan Xterra? Posted by Customer
    A:
    It is recommended to press the new seal into the retainer bore using a press or, if a press is not available, by sandwiching the retainer and seal between two smooth pieces of wood and pressing it into place with the jaws of a large vise.

    Q:
    What should be done after installing the oil seal for the 2002 Nissan Xterra? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Install the inner timing belt guide onto the nose of the crankshaft. Make sure the Woodruff key is in place in the crankshaft. Apply a thin coat of assembly lube to the inside of the timing belt sprocket and slide it onto the crankshaft. Installation of the remaining components is the reverse of removal.

    Q:
    How should the new oil seal be installed for the 2001 Nissan Frontier? Posted by Customer

    How do you complete the installation process for the 2003 Nissan Xterra? Posted by Customer

    How should the new seal be installed for the 1993 Nissan Maxima? Posted by Customer

    Posted by NissanPartsDeal Specialist
    Q:
    What should be checked before installing the new seal for the 1999 Nissan Maxima? Posted by Customer

    The seal contact surface should be checked very carefully for scratches and nicks that could damage the new seal lip and cause oil leaks. If the crankshaft is damaged, a new or different crankshaft is required.
    Posted by NissanPartsDeal Specialist
    Q:
    How should you position the new seal during installation for the 2003 Nissan Frontier? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Position the new seal in the bore with the seal lip facing inward, towards the engine. Applying a small amount of oil to the outer edge of the new seal can facilitate installation.
